Enjoy a self-guided tour of one of the most distinctive and beautiful campus chapels in the country. Graced with an interior design crafted exclusively by faculty and undergraduate students in 1962, Mater Dei Chapel is the communal and spiritual centerpiece of Mount St. Joseph University, which was founded in 1920 by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati as Ohio’s first degree-granting Catholic college for women. With its 28 stained-glass windows, intricate mosaic stations of the cross, and stunning marble surfaces, Mater Dei Chapel is a testament to the Mount’s history and an inspiration to visitors today. Also enjoy free refreshments and view other artwork by past and present Mount students as you stroll the quad.
