Desloge Chapel, Gothic chapel at Saint Louis University Medical Center, Missouri, US.

Desloge Chapel is a Gothic church of light gray stone at Grand and Vista avenues, built 1931-33 for Firmin Desloge Hospital and modeled by Ralph Adams Cram on the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. Its steep green-tinged copper roof carries a slender dark gray spire topped by a cross; the facade has pointed-arch windows, circular stone medallions and a projecting side section with tall louvered openings. Inside, the altar holds John Angel's Crucifixion group.

The chapel was designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram and consecrated on November 9, 1933, during the construction of Firmin Desloge Hospital. A generous donation from Lydia Holden Davis Desloge made this religious building possible.

The chapel is formally designated the Chapel of Christ the Crucified King by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis, yet it serves as an ecumenical pastoral chapel for the hospital complex. Its design echoes the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, and the funeral of Firmin V. Desloge II was held here in 1952.

The chapel stands at the corner of Grand and Vista avenues, inside the hospital complex that is now SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. Enter from the hospital side; the space is a working pastoral chapel, so quiet is expected during prayer. Look up at the green copper roof and dark spire from the street before going in.

The 1983 windows were planned by Father Maurice B. McNamee, designed by Rodney Winfield and fabricated by Emil Frei Associates, the firm that also made the glass for St. Louis University's St. Francis Xavier Church. An earlier scheme, by Boston's Reynolds, Francis & Rohnstock, would have shown Jesuit missions in North America.
