POV: You step inside the Swartz Center for Spiritual Life, and a beautiful piece of Marywood history surrounds you. 💚💛

Home to the Marian Chapel, this special space has been a place for reflection, worship, music, and meaningful gatherings throughout the Marywood community’s history.

From its stunning two-story stained glass doors to its 180-seat intimate performance space, the Marian Chapel is truly a unique part of campus. The chapel also features a Peragallo pipe organ and a 7-foot Steinway grand piano, making it a memorable setting for both liturgical celebrations and performances.

✨ Alumni and friends, what’s your favorite memory of the Marian Chapel? Whether you attended Mass, performed on its stage, celebrated a special moment, or simply admired the space, share your memories below! ⬇️

As we approach All Souls Day, we pause to remember and honor those who have gone before us. At Marywood, we are blessed by our Catholic tradition of honoring our loved ones who have shaped our lives.

During this season of remembrance, we invite you to make a gift in memory of someone special – a living tribute to their legacy and the impact they had on others. Loved ones remembered through these gifts will also be remembered in our Book of Remembrance, which will be displayed in the Marian Chapel throughout November.

To make a gift in memory of a loved one, please visit marywood.edu/makeagift and choose “I would like to dedicate this gift.
