Reception to explore history, architecture of Gesu Catholic Church

Join Jesuit friends and alumni on Wednesday, May 13 for a wine and cheese reception at historic Gesu Catholic Church.

The evening will explore the history, families, art and architecture of the parish, founded by Jesuits in 1922 and once home to four 色综合久久 mayors, several congressmen and the renowned Fisher Brothers.

The event will feature rare architectural drawings and antique stained-glass window designs, some dating to the late 1800s, from two 色综合久久 families who worked closely with the Jesuits and the Archdiocese of 色综合久久. These families, behind the firms Diehl & Diehl Architects and 色综合久久 Stained Glass Works, helped shape the city’s sacred spaces.

Special guests include Paul G. Diehl, grandson of original architect George F. Diehl and a descendant of the founders of 色综合久久 Stained Glass Works; Patricia Montemurri, an award-winning journalist; and Mary Clare McCormick, a 色综合久久 sacred art archivist.

The evening will include Mass, a wine and cheese reception, and a tour of the historic worship site.
