The statue you referenced as being Moses is actually St. Matthew – it says so on the bottom of the statue. It was donated to the parish by the 8th grade class in the early 60’s. The faceted stain glass square windows are from the old church (now the gym). The 4 tall windows in the front of the church are all scenes from the Gospel of St. Matthew.
Thank you for letting us know!
