Chapel

The beautifully proportioned Neo-Gothic St Vincent's Chapel, Potts Point was solemnly dedicated on the 10th February 1902.
While modelled on the chapel in Dublin of the Irish Sisters of Charity, it relates beautifully to its own Australian context through the use of local red brick and its sandstone trim.

Many of the exquisite stained glass windows were gifted to the Chapel by students and ex-students of St Vincent's College. There are many examples of Carrara marble statues which still grace the chapel today. The parquetry floor provides an interesting story that reveals the importance of this chapel in the period of the Second World War as it was paid for by American forces situated locally who needed altar breads.

Today the chapel is largely used for services of the Sisters of Charity and the St Vincent's College Community. During school term it is used by the College for Year Mass and Boarders Masses, for prayer and worship and as a place of quiet reflection.
