The sacred art in and around St. Patrick’s Church takes many forms.  The three dimensional art, most commonly seen in the form of statues, is the most widely distributed form of art at St. Patrick’s.  It can be found in the main church, in the vestibule and outside on the grounds of the campus.  While they have thier own sense of visual beauty, the real beauty of these works of art lie in story and meaning of the lives portrayed.

The statues inside the church are all carved from wood.  with the exception of the the St. Patrick statue which greets vistors in the Vestibule Entry, they are unpainted with a light natural finish. 

The statues outside the church are mostly of carved stone or cast concrete and may either be painted or natural stone.  These are among the older works of sacred art at St. Patrick’s, with some dating back to the late 1920’s when the old church on Edgewater Avenue in Smithtown was built.  Of course, St. Patrick’s looks towards the future and there new statues located around our new church.
