The parking lot is dirt, but there's plenty of RV parking, and right off the interstate.

Some cleaning supplies are left out in the Box, and signs ask visitors to wipe down anything they touch.
[Carter Sutton, 07/27/2020]Decent weather and wasn't too hot, which is good because the brick and glass building is not air conditioned. There are stairs up and around Jesus. Be sure to look to the left of the left staircase and see the Holy Water spigot/faucet!

You can park in the church lot and walk right into the box holding Jesus (door was unlocked) for a very, very up close look.

Resides beside St. Isidore Catholic Church...Right by the highway you can spot this giant Jesus in a box. It's weird and awesome and worth a stop for sure!
