This wood relief is found in the entrance of the LaGrippe Pastoral Center.  It was created by Leslie Colonna and Mark Swain, faculty in the department of Art and Design.  The artwork celebrates the words of John Baptist De La Salle, “Ask God to make His spirit come alive in you.” 
 

The artwork is made of a variety of woods, intended to be warm and inviting.  The wood, cut in squares and arcs, reveals a spiral path, expanding out from, and flowing toward, the cross, which is placed at the beginning of the spiral.  It is our hope that we would all ask God to make the Spirit come alive in our heart that we might love God – Father, Son, and Spirit; serve others; and be a committed member of this community.
