Three Holy Companions Chapel,Marquette University High School
We were thrilled to contribute over 20 individual pieces of art that were installed in Marquette University High School’s new Three Holy Companions Chapel in Milwaukee, WI.
The chapel is dedicated to the holy men St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier and Blessed Peter Favre. The 8' by 11' Emmaus Ambulatory Shrine, portrays the Companions in life size sculptural relief of bronze toned fiberglass. An oil painted mural backing the shrine depicts their guidance by Jesus who is represented as the radiating sun that begins to form the outline of the seal of the Society of Jesus.
The Holy Water Font, expertly crafted out of marble, glass, and bronze serves as a focal point in the rear portion of the chapel. It was developed with four sections of Italian marble representing the four corners of the earth. Scriptural citations of the Resurrection of Jesus found in all four Gospels are inscribed in bronze plaques around the water of the font.
Among the pieces installed were Stations of the Cross, three IHS signature plaque and an entrance medallion/plaque all cast in bronze and inlaid in the floor.
“A committed team of talented artists [whose]…designs were authentic and creative,” were some of many words of gratitude spoken after the completed installation by Mr. Dan Quesnell, Director of Planning and Community Relations for Marquette University High School. Quesnell went on to say, “Our Three Holy Companions Chapel is a remarkable secondary education worship facility due in large part to the extraordinary work of your artists.”
