This statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus meashes perfectly with this college, many of whose faculty are brothers from the monsastic Order of the Sacred Heart
The statue faces Lake Bourgne at the front of camput, reaching out to all who pass by, or who stop and visit a little while.
The plaque on the base of the statue reads as follows:
"“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

In gratitude for the profound impact St. Stanislaus has had on their lives.
