Saint John Kanty Statue

From the card...

"This statue of Saint John Kanty stood above the main entrance of St. John Kanty Prep School in Erie, Pa. from the day of its dedication, September 2, 1912, until it was brought to St. John Cantius Parish in Philadelphia, Pa. on February 3, 1992, through the efforts of Msgr. Bernard E. Witkowski, Pastor of St. John Cantius and an Alumnus of Kanty's class of 1953. The expense of removing the statue and transporting it to Philadelphia was covered by the generosity of the Alumni.

"The statue is six feet, seven inches tall, made of Carrara marble, and weight [sic] 1800 pounds."
