Chapel McNichols Hall Just when Europe was in the midst of great strife during the Protestant Revolt of the 16th century, St. Ignatius Loyola gathered around him a number of clerics with like ideals, and they formed a homogeneous society at Paris, in 1534. Pope Paul III officially recognized them as the Society of Jesus in the year 1540. In subsequent years the Jesuits began to “preach to all nations,” coming to what is now the United States before the end of the sixteenth century. The “Black Robes” first made their appearance in the Great Lakes region before 1650, and came to Detroit for a time in the early eighteenth century. They returned in 1877 to establish the institution now known as the University of Detroit.
