Leoville Corpus Christi

Around 1915 a statue of Our Blessed Mother was donated by Father Fr. Martin Schmidt in honor of his parents.  The statue was placed on a throne of circular steps and stood among the evergreens north of the church.   May Crowning was held at that location with a high school senior crowning the statue during the ceremony.
