If you’re passing by Sherbrooke West tomorrow morning (Thursday Sept 24th), keep en eye out for the descent of Mary and Jesus.<\/p>\n

Dawson College announced<\/a>that they will assemble two cranes in front of the CEGEP in order to remove the 17-foot statue and send it in for repairs and cleaning. That statue of the Mary and Jesus is over a century old, originally erected to watch over the Mother House of the Congr\u00e9gation de NotreDame. It was rebuilt in 1946 after its head was knocked off by lightning. Dawson college inherited the statue when it took up residence inside the old Mother House in 1988.<\/p>\n

During a routine light bulb change, it was recently discovered that Mary was cracked. My favourite part of the whole storyis that, according to the article, a routine light bulb change involves getting the phys ed teacher to scale the 170-foot building.<\/p>\n

If all goes well, Mary and Jesus will rise again\u00a0to their post\u00a0atop the college before the first snow falls, but if the statue requires more extensive work it will be gone until Spring 2010. (If\u00a0we have\u00a0to wait until spring, can we please put it back up on Easter?)<\/p>\n
