Detroit Mercy School of Law unveiled portraits of the Jesuit and Mercy religious founders — St. Ignatius of Loyola (founder of the Society of Jesus) and Venerable Catherine McAuley (founder of the Sisters of Mercy) — on Nov. 7, 2024.
The Most Reverend Robert J. Fisher ’83, auxiliary bishop of Detroit, blessed the portraits. Several members of the Sisters of Mercy and Society of Jesus attended the blessing ceremony organized by Deacon Kurt Godfryd ’84, ’87, ’90, associate dean for Finance and Operations.
The portraits are on display in the east hallway outside the prayer and reflection room. Daniel McAfee, local artist and retired director of worship for the Archdiocese of Detroit, painted the portraits.
