Posted by Annie Harton on Apr 20, 2021 11:02:00 AM

In the heart of God Quad, you encounter the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue. If you look at a map, you may even notice the walking paths actually form the shape of a heart with the statue at its base. This is not just a geographic reality, but a theological truth as well. Jesus is at the heart of everything we do and the foundation of all knowledge. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
