INDIANAPOLIS (CNS) -- Imagine sitting next to Jesus during the Last Supper. What would you say to Christ? How would this experience affect your faith? A new interactive sculpture at St. Christopher Parish in Indianapolis invites people to sit outdoors at a table beside a life-size image of Christ and spend time in prayer or reflection. Father Michael Welch, pastor of St. Christopher, hopes people will "visit with Jesus" often at The Last Supper" sculpture. The bronze sculpture of Jesus breaking bread -- dedicated July 30 and located outside the Parish Activity Center and parish office -- will be illuminated at night so people can spend time there whenever they want -- or need -- to pray, the priest said.
