Summary:
Bas-relief over the entrance to the church depicts a visitation of Christ to Sister Margaret Mary Alacoque in the 17th century. Christ stands in the center of the relief on a cloud. He wears flowing robes and a halo. He points to the Sacred Heart emblem on his chest. Sister Margaret Mary Alacoque kneels to the left. She wears a nun's habit and both her hands are raised in adulation. To the right, a single lighted candle stands on a covered altar. A striped pillar stands between Christ and the altar. A pair of winged angel heads, each with distinct features, flanks Christ.
