Chapel of the Three Companions
 
Chapel of the Three Companions
Prep's Chapel, completed in 2007, is named for three of the first seven Jesuits. St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Peter Faber began their friendship as college roommates at the renowned medieval University of Paris. When the "Compania de Jesus" was formed in 1551, these three were its most influential members.
 
 
The foyer, or narthex, of the chapel features an icon depicting the work and spirituality of these three companions written by Dora Bittau. Read about key aspects of the work here
 
Each corner of the Chapel features a window depicting the spiritual focus and possible movements of the four "weeks" of the Spiritual Exercises. The windows feature glass etchings taken from original artwork specially commissioned for this project by Fr. Arturo Arauja, a Jesuit from Colombia. Fr. Arauja's own comments on his work for the Companions Chapel can be found below.
 
 
Sacrament of Reconciliation
All students will have the opportunity to receive the sacrament every Lent and Advent.
