In fall 2016, Sister Ann Petrus, CDP Superior General, began conversations with the OLLU Board of Trustees to discuss the transfer of responsibility of Sacred Heart Chapel and Chapel Auditorium to the university. In recent years, the Sisters’ daily use of these facilities has decreased while university use has increased.
This transfer of responsibility has now been approved and will be official this summer. “This is a wonderful option for the Congregation,” said Sister Petrus. “The Sisters will still have the use of the building, which occupies a very significant place in their history as a community and personally. At the same time, the Chapel does not become a museum, but actively serves the Church.”
