Madonna Della Strada Chapel

Madonna Della Strada Chapel at Loyola University Chicago.

Madonna della Strada is a chapel on the campus of Loyola University Chicago in the neighborhood of Rogers Park, Chicago: it is named after the mother church of the Jesuit Province of Chicago (one of the largest Jesuit provinces).

History

The Chapel was the dream of Father James Mertz, S.J., who raised the money for its construction. The Madonna Della Strada Chapel is the main chapel on the Lake Shore Campus of Loyola University Chicago. The chapel was built on the lakefront with the waters of Lake Michigan directly at its front doorstep. The church was designed and built at a time when it was anticipated that Lake Shore Drive would be extended and pass directly in front, but that project was abandoned.^[1] The chapel was designed by architect Andrew Rebori in the Art Deco Style and opened its doors to the Loyola University Chicago Community in 1938.^[2]

Several chapel churches in Latin America were named after the chapel church in Chicago, as a tribute to Loyola University Chicago Jesuit and student missionaries.

Stained glass windows

The seven stained glass windows on the north side of the nave represents the seven colleges that existed when the Chapel was built.

St. Thomas Aquinas - Arts & sciences
St. Luke - Medicine
St. Anne and Mary - Nursing
St. Thomas More - Law
St. Matthew - Business administration
St. Vincent de Paul - Social Work
St. Apollonia of Alexandria - Dentistry

The seven stained glass windows on the south side of the nave illustrate the principal ministries of the Jesuits.

St. Peter Canisius - Education
St. Francis Regis - Spiritual Life
St. Francis Xavier - Foreign Missions
St. Ignatius - The Spiritual Exercises
St. Joseph - Ministry to the Dying
The Blessed Virgin - Sodality of Our Lady
The Sacred Heart

A new pipe organ by Goulding and Wood was built and installed in 2008. The Katheryn "Kay" Stamm Memorial Organ has 70 ranks distributed over three manuals and pedal and played via a terraced console located in the rear gallery.^[4]

The chapel hosts an annual "Midnight Organ Blast" at midnight on Halloween, featuring eerie melodies.^[5]

The Loyola University Department of Sacramental Life hosts a series of free organ concerts on the third Sunday of each month.^[6]
