Images from the roadtrip 9: Grants, New Mexico

St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Church, Grants, New Mexico. The Knights of Columbus seem to have this habit of placing various forms of monuments to the "unborn" at some churches, way out in front of some prominent feature of the church, much like this. In a way it looks like an insult to the church of some kind, as if the Knights needed to make their presence known at a church they thought was insufficiently "pro-life."
