Saint Pius X Chapel
|
|
|
|
The most recently built of all the Josephinum chapels,
Saint Pius X Chapel was completed in 1958. It has
also undergone more changes than the other chapels.
Originally, it had a high altar, marble floors and
pews. In the 1970s, they were replaced with the more
flexible furnishings of the period, and shutters were
hung over the stained glass windows.

Since 1997, it has undergone renovation. A solid
metal tabernacle, carpeting and a pipe organ were
installed. This fine organ (pictured below) was originally
constructed by M.P. Möller of Hagerstown, Md.,
in 1965. It has two keyboards and pedals with four
ranks and a total of 377 pipes. The organ was donated
in 1998, in memory of then College Vice Rector Msgr.
Frank Lane’s mother, Mrs. Eileen Lane.

The new altar, credence table and ambo were donated
and crafted by Dr's. Chuck and Debbie Caranna during
the academic year 2001/2002.

The windows depict the seven gifts of
the Holy Spirit, exemplified in the lives of seven
pairs of saints, all of whom are models to the seminarians:

Wisdom
Understanding
Counsel
Fortitude
