Some
of the most stunning examples of beauty on campus are the stoneware
murals that grace the façade of the Franciscan Center.
When the Center was built in the 1980’s, Sister Patrice
Kerin asked community artists, Sisters Agneta Ganzel, Helen Chmura,
and Jane Mary Sorosiak to design large ceramic murals that would
convey the spirit of the Congregation.

St.
Francis Hall was built in 1917, the first unit that would house
the Sisters. The building has been through many renovations, becoming
the former St. Francis Education Center and currently a Lourdes
College building.
