Announcing the 2026 Chapelle Award Recipients 💚 Archbishop Chapelle High School is proud to announce the 2026 Chapelle Award Recipients, honoring individuals whose lives reflect exceptional faith, service, dedication, and love for our Chapelle community. This year, we celebrate three remarkable members of the Chapelle family whose impact spans generations. 2026 Deus Providebit Award Recipients Deacon Drea & Brenda Capaci For more than 50 years, Brenda and Deacon Drea Capaci have faithfully shared their time, talents, and unwavering devotion with Archbishop Chapelle High School. Brenda joined Chapelle’s faculty in 1973, serving generations of students with passion and care. Deacon Drea has served as Chapelle’s Co‑Chaplain for the past 25 years, ministering to our community and guiding students spiritually through prayer, service, and retreat leadership. Their decades of commitment, their joy in serving, and their deep love for Chapelle embody our motto Deus Providebit—God Will Provide. We are honored to recognize them for their extraordinary legacy of faith and service. 2026 Alumna of the Year Lyndsey Manalla Dyle ’03 A proud legacy alumna, Lyndsey Manalla Dyle ’03 carries Chapelle in her heart everywhere she goes. After graduating, she returned home to her Alma Mater—serving in Admissions, Alumnae, Advancement, and as a coach, deepening her love for the Chapelle community and strengthening the sisterhood that shaped her. Lyndsey reflects beautifully on the impact Chapelle has had on her life: “Deus Providebit—God Will Provide... I’ve carried this motto with me since my days at Chapelle. I truly believe that what you put into Chapelle, she will give you right back and then some. Chapelle isn’t just a place I went; it’s part of my identity. My mother and the women who taught me at Chapelle shaped who I am today, and I am forever grateful.” Lyndsey continues to embody our values through her leadership, service, and loyalty to Chapelle. We invite our entire community to celebrate these outstanding honorees at the 2026 Emerald Gala on February 28, 2026.
