Discover the remarkable history of Bellarmine Chapel, from its founding in 1927 to its striking 1962 mid-century modern design by Albert W. Walters. Explore its innovative architecture, rich symbolism, and the transformative interior renovations by renowned Catholic artist and designer William Schickel.

We'll also visit Our Lady of Peace Chapel, a historic 1938 family chapel that was carefully relocated and restored on Xavier's campus, along with other sites that reveal the university's Catholic heritage.
