We do not pray to statues. Yes we have statues and stained glass windows of saints, but we do not pray to the statues as if they were the people themselves. Prayer is not worship, but the act of asking for something, called "intercession." If you'd like to know more, look up the 3 types of worship: Latria, true worship reserved for God alone. Dulia, honor given to saints but not worship. Hyperdulia, veneration given to Jesus' Holy Mother Mary, whom even Jesus would have honored as was His duty to follow the Commandments.
