How does this artwork elucidate its Information?
Sacred Heart of Jesus was originally purchased by the Franciscans for installation at Alverna Retreat House in Indianapolis, in the early 1960s. In the early 1990s the retreat house closed and the sculpture was moved to Sacred Heart Church. Upon being moved to Sacred Heart the sculpture was rededicated. In 1992 architect Donald Wood was commissioned by the Philip Caito Jr. Family. Wood created a shrine in the courtyard of the church grounds, nestled behind a memorial dedicated to Catholic education. A plaque sits on the brick and limestone base stating that the statue was donated by the Caito family and designed by Wood.
