Our Lady of the New Millennium Book

Throughout Chicagoland and beyond, many lives have been touched by the awesome 33-foot shining steel statue of Our Lady of the New Millennium.

The statue was the dream of the late Carl Demma, who vowed, at an early age, to build such a gift for the people of Chicago. The story of his lifelong determination to accomplish this goal is a story of countless challenges and unfailing faith.

Now a book has been written to chronicle this amazing story. Our Lady of the New Millennium - One Man's Dream, written by Gail Jardine, tells the story of the building of the statue and shares some of the inspiring stories of the ways Our Lady of the New Millennium has affected the lives of many.

In the words of Francis Cardinal George, OMI, Archbishop of Chicago, "Those who love God's only begotten Son have always gone to the Mother of Jesus for help. By baptism, we are Christ's brothers and sisters, and his Mother is also ours. This book is a tale of this love in story after story."
