Hi, everyone. I am coming to you from Chapel Hall at Mount Saint Charles Academy; a space that was originally the Chapel for the resident students who lived here in the building in the the school's foundational days back in 1924. You can see some of the beautiful stained glass windows which still adorn the space, representing many different images gifted to the school by some tremendous benefactors throughout our history. This school also had an enormous organ that was located in this space above, which is now our school counseling center. Now this building has been used for classroom space during this time of pandemic. This space has also served as a library and we have utilized it in the past for events such as class meetings, meetings with parents, school liturgies, various services and meetings of clubs. I hope you have the opportunity to come by and visit and see some of the beauty of this space.
