Ave Maria

This monument is dedicated to the glory of God and His Blessed Mother.

It is erected on the site of the "Old Church on the Hill," which was built in 1805 Father John Dubois, founder of Mount Saint Mary's College and Seminary here on Saint Mary's Mount.

The bells in this tower ring out forever the praises of almighty God and his Blessed Mother.

Erected in humble and sincere gratitude for our many blessings.
