Mark Nagan snapped this photo of builders installing the pieces of the Ave Maria Oratory on Friday. He writes: “After a Founders’ luncheon on Marco Island, I traveled to Ave Maria (I was told the last pieces were going in today) yesterday to see the final installation; ended up watching as the last piece was finished and hoisted into place.” The landmark 100 foot, $24 million structure holds 1,100 people and sits in the center of the town of Ave Maria.
