Before they built a chapel on the third floor of the school, mass was celebrated in the Faculty House chapel, right there on the left, first floor, up the driveway steps. Can remember being recruited once or twice to be on honor guard duty at night after school in the Faculty House chapel, one hour, two students, at foot and head of the coffin of a deceased brother or priest awaiting their funeral next day. Can still remember the silence and lit candles and occasional visitors. Think it was Father Hanlon, WWII B-17 gunner btw, senior social studies that did the recruiting.
