Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel is located on the New England campus in Northfield, Massachusetts.
Not many college chapels that originated as a Protestant chapel have been transformed into a beautiful Catholic one. Nor have many beautiful chapels received a major award for their transformation. The exception is Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel at Thomas Aquinas College at its New England campus in Northfield, Massachusetts.
The complete transformation of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel earned Harrison Design, the architect and designer of the renovation, the 2022 Bulfinch Award for the category of ecclesiastical design from the New England chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. Of course, the greatest reward is that the beautiful chapel dedicated to the patroness of the school facilitates reverent worship and prayer for the students and faculty. Today, a commissioned mosaic of Our Mother of Perpetual Help appears on the façade above the main entrance.
