Pictured is a Sandstone statue of St. Cajetan, dressed in a regular vestment standing in front of a tall triangular obelisk covered with clouds and the heads of angels that symbolizes the Holy Trinity. The heart on the top of the obelisk had wings but they are no longer there. The book that St. Cajetan is holding has the Latin inscription qvÃÆÃ¦rite / primvm / regnvm Dei / et Ivstitiam / eivs // et hÃÆÃ¦c / omnia / adjicientvr / vobis. / math. cap. 6. v. 35. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33. The sculptor was Ferdinand Brokoff, 1709. Saint Cajetan was an Italian Catholic priest and religious reformer, co-founder of the Theatines
