Saint Mother Théodore Guérin, Limestone sculpture at Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington DC, United States.
The life-size limestone statue stands in Mary's Garden, representing Saint Mother Theodore Guerin in her religious attire with gentle features and contemplative expression.
Archbishop Pietro Sambi dedicated this statue on May 10, 2008, as a gift from the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods to commemorate her 2006 canonization.
The sculpture celebrates the first saint from Indiana, who established numerous educational institutions and devoted her life to teaching across the American Midwest.
Visitors can find the statue in the outdoor Mary's Garden area of the basilica, which remains open daily for prayer and contemplation.
The statue represents one of few American saints recognized for establishing educational foundations, particularly focused on advancing women's education in frontier territories.
