Statue of Virgin Mary from northern Italy installed at Marquette

MILWAUKEE -- A special addition made its way onto the campus of Marquette University on Monday morning, April 15.

After months of planning and thousands of miles of travel, a single crate held a precious piece of Marquette's future.

"The Virgin Mary statue is actually one of the things we were lacking on this campus," said Lora Strigens, VP for Planning and Facilities Management at Marquette.
