As a parent who pays a substantial tuition to this university , the school needs to keep the Chapel open to support non catholic students a place to practice their faith

This is Saint Francis University and the chapel is one tiny place in which activities such as retreats are held. The university does not need offices that bad.

I couldn't count how many days I spent visiting that chapel. It's such a beautiful and peaceful place. I spent a lot of time there growing my faith. I know many other students look for the same opportunity to find peace and grow their faith in such a wonderful and private place and it would be a shame if it were to close.

The agape chapel was a quiet place for me to practice piano since the school seems to get rid of every piano we have.

What a disappointment it would be to see the chapel closed. This is a vital element to the non Catholic students at St Francis. As a parent who pays a substantial tuition to this university I wholly support keeping it open as a place for students to practice their faith

I can't fathom that there is any legitimate reason to close a Chapel that students still use.

Saint Francis claims to welcome all denominations so by eliminating a core component of the non catholic students, who still persue their faith, they would be violating their own claim.

A beautiful chapel, it would be a shame if it wasn't there and then offices in it's place.

This place is essential to the non-denominational students of our campus. Please keep it alive!

I always enjoyed going to the agape chapel to play the keyboard. It is a peaceful place and a place I could go to catch my breath and spend some quiet time with the Lord.

The point of this chapel, since I became a student, was to allow non-denominational students have a place of sanctity and peace for their beliefs without having to travel. For the benefit of the school, allowing students to express their freedom of religion would be well respected and advantageous of campus ministry and the school

This is a place of worship for all of us who are not Catholic. Our place of worship needs to be maintained and protected just as the chapel is for those who are.

While it was a lovely, quiet place to pray, I had many deep conversations with friends in that chapel. It was always a safe, spiritual place to connect on a deeper level in God's presence. In my 6 years at SFU, I have so many memories of being in the Agape Chapel or the hallway outside of it. Yes, the Immaculate Conception Chapel is right next door, but it is not as intimate and versatile. I recall being in that space for adoration, night prayer, retreats, non-denominational services, simple worship, friendship, meetings of a spiritual or serious nature, and so much more. I would encourage the administration to get creative and expand elsewhere. Agape Chapel should stay just as it is: a safe, unassuming space for students of any faith or background to find some quiet.

If it wasn't for agape chapel, I might not have ever found the way that re-instilled my faith in the Lord. When I was in school, this place was a true non-judgemental place on campus where one could practice his or her faith. I loved the nightly prayer groups and intention sessions!

The chapel was a great place for quiet contemplation when I was a student, and as a non-Catholic student, it felt more like a place where I could spend time without infringing on other people's spiritual journey.

The Agape Chapel played a huge role in the development of my faith throughout my time at SFU. As a non Catholic student, the Agape Chapel is somewhere I feel more comfortable than the immaculate conception chapel. It's where I have encountered God time and time again on campus. I have found myself inside the chapel on numerous occasions just to pray and draw closer to God. It would be such a shame to see it changed.

The Agape Chapel is a unique, and reverent place on campus. It is a place of prayer and solidarity with the Lord and is an integral part of the faith lives of so many students on campus. Saint Francis prides itself on its Catholic framework and foundation...why would it take away something that is so fruitful for student's faith lives?
