Xavier's St. Katharine Drexel Chapel set for Oct. 6 consecration

Archbishop Gregory Aymond will formally consecrate the new 450-seat St. Katharine Drexel Chapel at Xavier University of Louisiana with a Mass Oct. 6 at 4 p.m.

The chapel is the culmination of years of planning, and it is the first chapel ever designed by world-renowned architect Cesar Pelli, who will attend the invitation-only Mass and reception.
