Sodality Chapel

Under the supervision of the first Jesuit President, Fr. Francis Gautrelet, S.J., Spring Hill students built the Sodality Chapel in 1850.  This simple, yet beautiful building is still in use daily for worship.  The Sodality Chapel is located across from the Outlaw Recreation Center.

St. Joseph Chapel

St_Joseph_Chapel_NICE_thumb_700x600St. Joseph Chapel stands as the spiritual heart of the Spring Hill campus.  On Sundays, weekdays during the school year, and at other significant times the community gathers to celebrate, pray, welcome and give thanks.  This holy place is not restricted to liturgical celebrations.  Many in the SHC community use it 24 hours a day as a place for prayer and meditation.  The doors are always open and everyone is always welcome.

Jesuit Martyrs Mass – November 11, 2018 9:00 pm

Each year we honor the legacy of the six Jesuits, their housekeeper and her daughter who were murdered at the University of Central America in November of 1999.  Like Christ, they were killed for their choice to seek peace rather than power.  During November we remember and give thanks for the witness of faith of the martyrs and our brothers and sisters in Central America who have gone before us.
