Murillo's Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The dome painting featuring the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ into heaven and the pillars surrounding the sanctuary.

The painting above the back wall altar is an exact copy of Murillo's Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was imported from Germany and put into its present position during the remodeling of 1913-1920. Because of the prominent position of the painting, which replaced another work of the same theme by an unknown artist, the church was known locally for many years as "The Church of the Assumption."

The pillars in the sanctuary feature the four evangelists;
Matthew--man

Mark--lion

Luke--ox

John--eagle
