Build a place where the work of the Church and the science of the soul meet.

The lead-gift opportunity for the campaign. The sanctuary backdrop is the architectural centerpiece behind the altar — what every worshipper sees during Mass, every adorer faces during Holy Hour, and every couple stands before at their wedding. The visual heart of the chapel, restored as the focal point of the entire space.

Recognition: Inscribed dedication at the base of the backdrop; lead-patron recognition at the chapel dedication; permanent acknowledgment as the principal benefactor of the sanctuary.

Sponsor the redesigned entrance to the chapel — the threshold every student, faculty member, clinician, and visitor crosses on the way to Mass, adoration, and the sacraments.

Recognition: Inscribed dedication at the entrance; permanent recognition as a principal patron of the chapel build.

The pipe organ for the new chapel — and, by extension, the musical life of the school's liturgical year. A gift that shapes every Mass, ordination, schola rehearsal, and feast-day celebration for decades.

Recognition: Plaque on the organ console; permanent recognition as the donor of the chapel's musical foundation.

One of six large clear-glass windows in the new sanctuary. The far-left window catches the morning light, framing the altar from the gospel side. In keeping with the original architectural design of O'Boyle Hall, all sanctuary windows are being restored as clear glass to admit maximum natural light.

Recognition: Named donor plaque adjacent to the window; recognition at the chapel dedication.

The center-left sanctuary window. Together with its three companions across the sanctuary, the four center windows flood the altar with natural light from sunrise to sunset. A natural complement for paired family or community gifts.

A new clear-glass window opening the chapel's north side wall. This sponsorship funds replacing a current cinder-block opening with a full architectural window, restoring the daylight that the original O'Boyle Hall design called for and transforming the feel of the entire chapel.

Recognition: Named donor plaque adjacent to the window; recognition at the chapel dedication.

A new clear-glass window opening the chapel's south side wall — the companion to the north-side window restoration. Together, the two side windows complete the chapel's daylight envelope and undo a decades-old compromise in the building's design.

The classroom-hallway overlook into the chapel — the place where DMU students pass between their academic day and the sacramental life at the heart of the school, often pausing to pray on their way to class. Sponsoring the overlook funds the architectural detail that turns a corridor into a contemplative threshold.

Recognition: Named dedication along the overlook gallery; recognition at the chapel dedication.

Recognition: Donor named on the shrine dedication plaque; recognition at the chapel dedication and at each Divine Mercy feast.

One of three devotional shrines along the chapel walls.

A meaningful gift for a donor with a particular spiritual heritage to honor.

Recognition: Inscribed dedication on the shrine; recognition at the chapel dedication and at the feast of the chosen patron.

The second of three donor-dedicated shrines. As with shrine I, the donor chooses the patron — a saint or devotion approved by the school for its connection to mental-health ministry and DMU's mission. The three shrines together create a small pilgrimage route along the chapel's interior.

Recognition: Inscribed dedication on the shrine; recognition at the chapel dedication and at the feast of the chosen patron.
