Trinity Heights - All-Encompassing Mary Very well done religious shrine. Very high quality artwork. I found Mary most inspiring; she seemingly is all encompassing. The hammered-and-chiseled, life-sized, Last Supper sculpture is very nice. Fantastic gift store! Kind and helpful volunteers. The chapel is very pretty; I said a prayer. I am not very religious but there is definitely an energy in the neighborhood. [Robert Leth, 07/08/2008]
Trinity Heights - 33-ft. tall steel Jesus Not only does Sioux City boast a 30 foot Stainless Steel statue of Mary, (super cool in a scary kind of way, but NOT cheap looking in any sense of the word), now they've got a 33-foot Jesus. You read right, a 33 foot tall Jesus, one foot of his height symbolizing every year he lived. You'll find them both, as well as the life-size carving of the Last Supper and a cheesy but excellent gift shop at "Trinity Heights." There is also a garden of the beatitudes, a small cave/grotto, and lots of blue haired old ladies. More seems to be added every year. [La Donna, 07/04/2004]
Stainless Steel Virgin Mary and Last Supper I visited the Stainless Steel Virgin Mary the last time I was home.
The life-size Last Supper is in an adjacent building, in a shrine-like room
-- lots of whispering blue-haired ladies. It was roughed out with a chain
saw by a local sculptor before the finishing work. Excellent gift shop in
the main building! [david hyden, 03/09/2002]
Trinity Heights - Sacred Steel Statues Sioux City, Iowa - The name of the religious attraction is Trinity Heights. The Last Supper is there as reported. The Jesus statue is complete, as well as a candle filled grotto. No blue-hair sightings at dusk.
This attraction is well tended and worshipful. It's not my religion, but the people here are very nice and obviously sincere, and deserve your efforts to preserve their reverent atmosphere. [K. Ward, 09/23/2000]
