Jesus says in John's Gospel: "In my Father's house there are many dwelling places." Our hope is that you find a spiritual home in St. Mary of the Angels Chapel and in the services of the University Chaplain's Office.

Almighty, eternal, just, and merciful God, grant us. . . the grace to do for You alone what we know You want us to do, and always to desire what pleases You. Thus, inwardly cleansed, interiorly enlightened, and inflamed by the fire of the Holy Spirit, may we be able to follow in the footprints of Your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ...

-- St. Francis of Assisi
