🙏🌿 A Peaceful Visit to Our Lady of Peace - Courtyard Virgin Mary Statue in Santa Clara, California

I spent a gentle, reflective afternoon at the Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in Santa Clara, California — home to a beautifully crafted, smaller version of the Virgin Mary statue displayed in the church’s serene courtyard. This graceful sculpture is one of the most cherished features of the grounds, offering visitors a quiet corner for prayer, reflection, photography, and moments of calm in the middle of a busy city. ✨

Surrounded by peaceful gardens, soft pathways, and the church’s welcoming atmosphere, this courtyard statue carries the same elegance and symbolism as the larger landmark version, but with a much more intimate and personal feel. It’s a lovely spot for anyone seeking a spiritual breather or a visually inspiring visit.
