 Each floor has a statue or image of Mary and child. 

     I'm here, I'm alive (thanks to the universal kosher-ness of Kellogs and milk) and I live in a building attached to a church. Each floor has a statue or image of Mary and child. The dorm level upstairs belongs to the Catholic University, and the library on the first floor belongs to the Vatican. As I wandered in yesterday looking for a potential school book, I noticed that amongst what looked like a Beit Midrash in Italian, in the first bookshelf facing the door, about knee-level, they have an encyclopedia of Judaism.
