In early January 2010 visited Steel Mary.
[Andrew Wertz, 01/22/2010]What an amazing experience...she is truly unique! We were so moved by all the Rosary beads left at her feet. Also at her feet were numerous coins...and tucked in the statue itself were folded bits of paper that probably had prayer requests. I'm so glad we found her!
[Penni, 08/04/2008]My cousin and I visited this statue while we were driving down to Florida. We were truly impressed! It was evening and it was very well-lit, and looked incredible. We were also able to speak for a while with the parish priest, who was very nice and seemed very proud of the statue.
