"West Catholic is the home to 10 pieces of beautiful art created by Russian artist, Yuri Kuchukov. The pieces were removed from a decommissioned church in New York and purchased by a local community member and philanthropist who then asked to have them displayed in the halls of West Catholic. The art is found in the hallways, gymnasium, and cafeteria and are all inspired by stories in the Bible, including the crucifixion of Jesus, the burning bush, among others. If you are visiting, please make sure you check out the beautiful pieces."
