The Jesuit Center and the Chapel of Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom

Opened in August 2022, the Jesuit Center is the home for the Jesuits who work at SLU. Our Lady Seat of Wisdom chapel is open to the public weekdays, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The crucifix holds a 19th century British representation of the crucified Christ, carved in walnut, surmounted by the placard ordered by Pontius Pilate – Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews – written in Greek, Latin and Hebrew.

The image of Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom was commissioned by a SLU donor and installed in the Fall of 2022. At the request of the Jesuit community, the artist painted the mantel worn by the Blessed Virgin Mary, SLU blue.
