Original Paintings of St. Cecilia and St. Gregory
Renowned artist Henry Wingate will paint two original oil paintings of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, and St. Gregory, the patron saint of musicians. These paintings will grace the choir loft as the college seeks these saints’ intercession to ensure that the sacred music in the chapel will raise our hearts and minds to heaven. These paintings will be approximately 6’4” x 2’6”.

Piazza of Christ the King
The final stage of exterior construction will be the building of a beautiful piazza to grace the chapel entrance. The “Piazza of Christ the King” will provide a noble gathering space for the community-centered campus life that flows from the chapel. The piazza will extend the spiritual life of the chapel onto campus and serve as a tangible reminder that every aspect of our life is infused with devotion to Jesus Christ.
The piazza will be built from beautifully masoned stone, with outer walls and tiles surrounding a great pillar topped by a statue of Christ the King. The new chapel will provide a setting that unites the academic and spiritual character of Christendom. The piazza will give to our campus a wonderful permanent outdoor area for students to come together in joyful festivity, prayer, and study with the glory of the angels and Christ the King surrounding them.
Reverent Adoring Angels
As a constant reminder of Our Lord’s great Sacrifice on the Cross, six angels will sit in the Piazza of Christ the King holding the instruments of Christ’s Passion. Two angels holding the symbols of Christ’s Kingship—the Subscription and the Crown of Thorns—will stand in the niches at the front of the chapel while the other four angels will each adorn one corner of the piazza holding the cross, the column and whips, the garment and dice, and the sponge and lance.
