A new LED spotlight has been installed on the Pieta frieze that used to adorn the front of the original altar in St. George’s Church.  It was restored in 1999 and mounted on the interior west wall of the current church building.  The colored panels depict the scene at the foot of the cross.  The center panel of the tableaux features the lifeless body of the
crucified Jesus in the arms of His Sorrowful Mother, with St. John supporting the Savior’s shoulder and, at His feet, St. Mary Magdalene. The two sections framing this panel depict two angels amidst lilies, one holding a burning heart, the other, a cross.

This piece of Seton’s history is now illuminated for prayer and meditation whenever the church is open for visitation. An added benefit is that light is now provided in what was previously a dark section of the building.
