The Alumni Memorial Chapel, built in the Gothic revival style and designed by architects Gaudreau & Gaudreau, was dedicated in 1952 to the Loyola Alumni who lost their lives in World Wars I and II.

The Chapel (campus map #16) is located on the west side of the academic quad, just before the pedestrian bridge that crosses over North Charles Street.

The Prayer & Meditation Room, located in Humanities 213, is an intentional room devoted to reflection, prayer, and/or meditation for those 51°µÍø University who do not identify as Catholic or are looking for a different space to pray. This room is a religiously neutral space, meaning that it is void of symbols from one particular religion. Students are welcome to bring what they need to this space to make it their own while they are using the space. There is a spot outside the room for one’s shoes and prayer mats and religious texts are conveniently located in a cabinet right outside the room. Campus Ministry hopes that this space is a visible symbol of Loyola’s commitment to welcoming, supporting, learning from, and appreciating religious diversity on this campus.

The Fava Chapel is a multi-use interfaith space, located in the Hammerman House (up the hill from the library), that is used for reflection and Zen Buddhist meditation. Meditation cushions are provided, and participants may sit either on the floor or on one of the benches along the wall. In this space, the Heart of Zen Meditation Group meets to make the core practice of Zen, namely meditating in silence and stillness, available to all, regardless of religious affiliation or secular orientation. Learn more about the Heart of Zen Meditation Group.

Heading east from the main academic quad, Hammerman Hall (campus map #31) will be the first residence hall on the right before the Loyola/Notre Dame Library. You may enter from the main lobby to the left of the reception desk or from the external door to the left of the main entrance.

The Jesuit Residence Chapel is the community worship space for the Loyola University Jesuit community, located in the back of the Ignatius House Jesuit Residence. Ignatius House is on Millbrook Road, just off of Cold Spring Lane, across from the bookstore and Diane Geppi-Aikens Field.

Heading east from the main academic quad on the main walkway, pass the Andrew White Student Center and Diane Geppi-Aikens Field, and cross Millbrook Road. Ignatius House (campus map #30) is directly ahead. Follow the path along the right side of the building to the Chapel entrance at the end of the path.
