Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel This statue was destined to be part of SSA. Our religion teachers attending the Hofinger Conference in January 2004 discovered the statue at the exposition. They knew her home should be on the SSA campus. We are proud to make Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel her permanent home. <strong>St</strong>ained Glass Finally, mention must be made of the four antique stained glass windows that hang above the courtyard entrance to the chapel. These windows are from the original <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Scholastica</strong> Convent Chapel that stood on the site of the present day <strong>Academy</strong>. By having this remnant from the venerable sisters who prayed in their presence, proud honor is given to their memory and gratefulness for the path they set out for the generations of students to follow. It is the work of their arms, like those of the Blessed Mother, that helps to propel all who study, pray, work and commune in this place, to enter the fullness of Trinitarian life. Our Dream Come True . . . The new chapel provides a true spiritual center of the campus. As a Catholic high school, we are centered in Christ. We see our students frequently stopping by the chapel to connect with God even if it is just for a few brief moments before they head to their next class. Our mission to teach as Christ taught is the reason for this school, the teacher in the classes, the model of its faculty, the inspiration of its students. May our school community be strengthened with a true chapel on our campus and renewed in hope. Celestin thanked the SSA community and many others who made the chapel possible and brought it to life.
