A new chapel
The chapel, built in the heart of the school, becomes a place of peace and quiet - a retreat. A chapel choir, sacristans, the smell of incense, white communion dresses and midnight mass at Christmas, the Madonna and Child draped in purple on Palm Sunday, 24 hours of silence and fasting on Good Friday, and the words of Sister Janet to the girls that “if they are true to Him” it “will affect their lives right through” – all this inspires, if not all the girls, then a good number of them, to a passionate commitment to their faith.
