Our Lady of the Prairies
The provincial shrine of Our Lady of the Prairies, located in the church, depicts Mary as a fellow prairie pilgrim. Sculpted in bonded bronze in Florence, Italy, Mary holds a sheaf of wheat as a mother lovingly and gently holds her child. The wheat, a symbol of Christ, the Bread of Life, is also an essential part of prairie life. Mary walks on the slanted pedestal, protected by her mantle cloak from the prairie winds as she moves with and protects her people on the pilgrimage of faith.
The backdrop mural by Ronald Millard illustrates in wood relief carvings and paintings the eight Marian shrines in Saskatchewan. The Ukrainian Rite of the Church (Saskatchewan Eparchy) is depicted in the mural by Our Lady of Sorrows Shrine, Cudworth, and by a niche in the mural featuring a Marian icon.
