In 1854, Fr. Mollinger arrived in New York and went to Latrobe, Pennsylvania (St. Vincent's)
The chapel houses Life size German made (imported) Hand-Carved Wooden Stations of the Cross. They are so life-like looking, that when pilgrims view them, they are in awe of them.
My family with a priest-friend of ours, were blessed to be allowed to have a private Mass there.
If ever you should be in that area or can visit, I would highly recommend it! You won't be dissapointed!
