1925 - New Chapel Built on Campus

Bishop Hugh C. Boyle dedicated the new Saint Ann Chapel built on campus. The addition of a new chapel allowed for structural rearrangements in the classroom and with the curriculum. The Sisters and lay teachers began to utilize musical activities such as choral groups, folk songs, singing games, and rhythm bands to further the students’ grasp of oral language and patterns of speech, all the while having fun! This space would later be converted into a school library space. A stained glass window from the original chapel has been preserved to this day and can be found in the archive display at DePaul School’s current Shadyside location.
