A wide-angled view of the Chancel. The second icongraphic program in the church commemorates moments in the life of St. Ignatius (1491-1556) and the religious order he founded. Most prominent amount these decorations are the three murals, double framed in pink Algerian marble and bronze bands, adorning the walls of the sanctuary’s apse. These mosaics were also manufactured by Salviati & Company after designs by Professor Paoletti suggested by the Rev. David Hearn, S.J., pastor from 1909 to 1915. Owing to the rich hues of their Venetian glass, these panels display a colorful exuberance well suited to the life of the saint they celebrate.
