Foundations and Inspirations
The statue of three angels, located in the center of
Trinity Garden on the Siena Heights campus, provides
the image on the front cover of this issue of
Reflections. The three angels, symbolizing the
Blessed Trinity, were designed originally as a
fountain and once stood on a raised foundation above
a reflecting pool. Other statues in the garden depict St.
Augustine (page 9) pondering the mystery of the
Trinity in his legendary encounter with a child, and
St. Cecelia, patroness of musicians (shown at left).
At its dedication in 1931, Trinity Garden was
bordered only by Sacred Heart Hall and Walsh Hall
(now called Sage Student Union); orchards and
rolling hills stretched to the north and west. The
construction in 1938 of Archangelus Residence Hall
and Benincasa Dining Hall enclosed Trinity Garden,
making it the heart of the growing campus. The
statues in Trinity Garden, and the welcoming marble
image of Jesus in the lobby of Sacred Heart Hall (see
page 11), are daily reminders of the faith and values
upon which the College is founded.
