Catholic Central's chapel is symbolic of the centrality of our Catholic faith, providing and supporting opportunities to enhance students’ faith experience. The renovation will be an updating of current chapel, which was made possible through a generous gift from the Morrow family. The project is aligned with Catholic Secondary Schools strategic priority to be a community of faith, creating environments where all may encounter the living God.

Infused with reverence

•      Redesigned inner space with central focus on the altar and tabernacle.

•      Suspended ceiling, updated flooring and wall colors, chairs with kneelers; sacred art and liturgical furnishings all combine to provide an atmosphere of reverence.

•      Sacristy/Confessional
