...Particularly notable among the commissioned works are the bronze candleholders by Washington sculptor John Dreyfuss, at once elegant and weighty. Two wonderful polychrome sculptures by Belgian artist Pazzi De Peuter give the room a psychic crackle – a Christ figure floating on the white north wall and a standing figure of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order, in a high niche in the tower. The Saint looks down at departing worshippers with big, reprimanding, and reminds them of their duties in the world out there with a gentle gesture of his right hand.
