Copper Relief Panel by Hermon A. MacNeil above the entrance to the Marquette Building at 140 South Dearborn Street illustrating how Father Jacques Marquette travelled by canoe with Native American Indians along the Chicago River.
Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette was a French-Canadian explorer with Louis Joliet during 1674-1675, who recorded his discovery journey through Illinois country by providing the first European documented description of the site of Chicago.
Owen F. Aldis was a real estate developer, fanatic historian, and one of the building's original owners, who translated Father Jacques Marquette's original journal in 1891, thus christening the structure with his name and inspiring artists to illustrate the explorers' journeys with their Native American companions at the Marquette Building, a national historic landmark honoring the history of Chicago's expedition by Marquette and Joliet.
The rotunda mosaic was designed by J.A. Holzer of the Tiffany Company. The glass colored mosaic panels are detailed artistic renditions depicting passages from the original Marquette journal detailing the journey of the explorers accompanied by Native American Indians wearing medallions, trophies, and illustrating characters representing period costumes, coat of arms, weapons, and historic icons.

A New Translation of the Catholic Roman Mass Service Petitioned by the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI
Through These Sacred Texts and The Actions That Accompany Them, Christ Will Be Made Present and Active in The Midst of His People. The Voice That Helped Bring These Words To Birth Will Have Completed Its Task.
--His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
Preparing For The New Liturgy of The Word on November 27, 2011
We are preparing for the New Translation of the Catholic Roman Mass. On November 27th, the First Sunday of Advent, all Catholic parishes in the United States will begin praying with the texts of the Mass Service using a new English translation of The Roman Missal.
I Pray That in This Way Any Risk of Confusion and Bewilderment Will Be Averted, and the Change Will Serve Instead as A Springboard For A Renewal and A Deepening of Eucharistic Devotion All Over The English-Speaking World.--His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
