$3.5M to Incarnate Word Hall—The Largest Gift in School History This extraordinary investment will help bring to life a new center for faith formation on Chapelle’s campus. Incarnate Word Hall will include a new chapel large enough for grade level liturgies, along with six theology classrooms designed to deepen students’ understanding of their faith. The building will also serve as a gathering place for the Chapelle community and will invite alumnae to return to campus to celebrate weddings and baptisms. Mrs. Benson’s generosity reflects her longstanding commitment to Catholic education and her belief in the importance of forming future generations of women leaders. Through this gift, she joins the many supporters helping Archbishop Chapelle High School continue its legacy of educating young women rooted in faith. "Mrs. Benson’s gift is not only remarkable in its generosity, it is a profound statement of faith in our students, our faculty, and the future of this school," said Head of School Connie Dantagnan '88. "Her commitment will help ensure that generations of young women will continue to grow in knowledge, faith, and leadership within these walls."

The Word Shares the Excitement for Incarnate Word Hall Ahead of #iGiveCatholic Day 💚✨ In the spirit of community, generosity, and Chapelle pride, members of The Word, Archbishop Chapelle High School’s official student newspaper, set out this week to capture the voices behind the excitement for Incarnate Word Hall—our future Chapel and Theology wing. Students interviewed alumnae, teachers, and fellow Chipmunks to ask one simple question: “How excited are you for Incarnate Word Hall?” The responses were overflowing with enthusiasm. From alumnae eager to see a new sacred space on campus, to teachers thrilled for the spiritual and educational opportunities the building will bring, to students imagining the impact on future generations—everyone shared a deep sense of pride and anticipation. Their interviews weren’t just about gathering reactions. The Word created this feature to help spread awareness and inspire support for #iGiveCatholic, a day dedicated to uplifting Catholic communities through generosity. By highlighting the shared excitement for Incarnate Word Hall, they helped show just how meaningful this project is to the entire Chapelle family.  We're proud of our student journalists for using their voices to promote connection, faith, and community support. Their work reminds us that Incarnate Word Hall is more than a building—it's a promise for the future of Chapelle.

Chapelle Shares Gratitude Through 2025 Thanksgiving Baskets 🦃🧺 The spirit of giving was alive and overflowing at Archbishop Chapelle High School this Thanksgiving season! As part of our annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive, students, faculty, and staff worked together to create beautiful baskets filled with food and essentials for families in need. This year, the baskets were donated to the St. Mary Magdalen Food Pantry as well as six other families in our Chapelle community. Each Burrow, along with members of the faculty and staff, completed a full basket — totaling over 40 baskets donated! In addition, the Chapelle family collected more than 600 items as part of the drive. This service effort beautifully reflects the mission of our Matthew 25 Service Program, which reminds us of Christ’s words: “...we see you hungry and feed you.” We are so proud of our Chipmunks for living out their faith through compassion, generosity, and action. Because of your kindness, many families will experience comfort, hope, and joy this Thanksgiving season.
