Three items were officially blessed and dedicated in chapel April 17. A new balcony piano, the prie-dieu, or prayer station, and a processional cross were all recognized and blessed through prayer and the sign of the cross.

Additionally, pianist Mark Laverty played the balcony piano during chapel and gave a brief musical performance after chapel. We are grateful to the 2013 and 2016 graduating classes, as well as an anonymous donor, for these gifts.
