For nearly a decade, a white stone statue of Mary and baby Jesus has stood outside Ste Anne des Pins Catholic church in downtown Sudbury. At times vandals had targeted the statue, leaving the head of baby Jesus rolling on the ground nearby. About a year ago, the head of baby Jesus was knocked off again. The statue stood headless for months as the church’s priest, Gérard Lajeunesse, asked local businesses about crafting a new head. “She did this out of the goodness of her heart.”The head sparked bemusement on social media, with some pointing out the striking resemblance between baby Jesus and Maggie Simpson.
