Loyola University’s Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt celebrates a century of life

When a living legend like BVM Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt turns 100, it’s fitting to celebrate for a month. That’s what Loyola University Chicago did in August when its men’s basketball chaplain reached the century mark.

Exhibit: Jesuits, sisters who helped build church in US

Visitors to the Loyola Museum of Art can take a journey crossing the Atlantic and spanning the continent — as well as nearly four centuries — with “Crossings and Dwellings: Restored Jesuits, Women Religious, American Experience, 1814–2014.” Artifacts include a flint cross given to Jesuit Pere Jacques Marquette, who wintered on the shores of Lake Michigan on what is now the South Side of Chicago, to an Oscar won by Mercedes McCambridge, a graduate of Mundelein College, for her role in 1949’s “All the King’s Men.”
