Blessed Sacrament Chapel, Neoclassical chapel in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana.
Blessed Sacrament Chapel is a Neoclassical chapel in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods characterized by refined architectural details and careful material choices. The interior features a barrel-vault ceiling, marble accents, and nine Tiffany glass windows designed with abstract patterns rather than figurative imagery.
Construction of the chapel took place from 1920 to 1924 under the direction of Mother Mary Cleophas Foley, followed by its consecration on May 19, 1924 by Bishop Joseph Chartrand. The project was authorized following ecclesiastical approval granted in 1913, establishing the foundation for its ongoing spiritual purpose.
The chapel serves as a place of continuous Eucharistic adoration, inviting visitors to participate in a spiritual practice rooted in the early 20th century. This devotional focus shapes how people use the space today, creating a rhythm of prayer and contemplation within the community.
The chapel welcomes visitors daily for personal prayer and quiet reflection in a serene setting. When entering, it is respectful to move quietly and be mindful of others who are also seeking moments of contemplation in this sacred space.
The chapel's central baldachin is carved from a single block of white Carrara marble, making it a striking focal point as you enter. This sculptural element demonstrates the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail invested in the space.
