Dear Damien Families,
It is with great joy that we announce our plans to create a larger, more centrally located chapel on the Damien Campus. The purpose of this project is to meet the needs of an expanding Campus Ministry program. This year during Lent we had standing room only for Eucharistic Adoration in our existing chapel. Daily morning mass attendance is growing as well. We would like to have a chapel that would be able to facilitate an entire Theology class (approximately 50-60 seats). Though we realize that this is a good problem to have, we are asking for you to be a part of a plan to renovate an existing large classroom. While God deserves the best we have to offer we are trying to keep the costs as reasonable as possible. The renovation project would involve paint, carpet and new furnishings. We would like create a small bell tower to call the students to Mass each morning. The existing chapel has only about twelve seats without kneelers, the tabernacle is wooden and the altar is in slight disrepair.
If you are interested in helping finance this project or if you know someone who might be able to donate time, expertise and/or materials please contact Debbie Rosas in the Advancement Office (

Above all, we ask that you offer prayers for our Damien students and the campus ministry program that we may offer our best to God each day. We look forward to seeing you in the new chapel, a power-house of prayer, to continue that brotherly spirit of thanksgiving and sacrifice.
One Heart and One Spirit In Christ,
Fr. Peadar Cronin President, Mr. Pearsall Principal, Fr. John Roche Chaplain and the entire Campus Ministry Team
