Saint Ignatius of Loyola offers/surrenders his sword in front of the statue of the Black Madonna, Our Lady of Montserrat.

This is a new bronze planted on the campus on the 9th of March. No attribution to the sculpture. St. Ignatius High School, was originally part of acollege. The college moved to Cleveland Heights, which also has a statue of the event [click].

Also on campus are bronzes representing the Seven Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.  An eighth was added by Pope Francis in 2016, Care for our Common Home (Earth).  Francis was the the only Jesuit pope, and of course there is opposition amongst "conservatives" for him, and the addition.  The work above is Feeding the Hungry, the one below is Visiting the Prisoner.  Many "conservatives" object to them also, especially under the government we are subjected to now.

Sunday, time to wash the windows.

The school has a fleet of identified vehicles, which include license plates that read AMDG##.

Ad maiorem Dei gloriam, For the greater glory of God. 

Ad maiorem Dei gloriam inque hominum salutem, For the greater glory of God and the salvation of humanity.
