En 2007, la Concatedral del Sagrado Corazón encargó al artista John Collier que diseñara y creara estatuas de bronce de la Anunciación y el Árbol de la Vida con el Cristo Crucificado.

- In 2008 the “Annunciation Statue” and “Tree of Life Statue” were installed in the Gardens in front of the Church. Sacred Heart celebrated its first outdoor procession through the garden on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15, 2008.

- The “Annunciation Statue” depicts the angel Gabriel standing on a tree stump informing the Virgin Mary, standing next to a fig tree, that she will give birth to the son of God. The work earned Collier the Design Merit in Visual Arts Award from Faith and Form Magazine in conjunction with the Interfaith Form on Religion, Art and Architecture, a division of the American Institute of Architects.
