Masses and Liturgy


The Chapel of the Immaculate Conception, located adjacent to the Terrace, is the primary worship space for the University. The chapel was dedicated in 1910 and is an inspirational setting constructed in the Cluniac Romanesque style. In addition, the Mary, Queen of Peace Chapel, located in Pangborn Hall, is a smaller chapel used for daily liturgies and several prayer groups. The St. Bernard Chapel, located in the seminary complex, is used by the seminary community.
