ne of the most beloved spaces on campus, Founders Chapel has an even more special place in the hearts of those who marry there. Weddings there are reserved for alumni, faculty, staff and administrators, as well as the children of those groups. And at least one of the marriage partners must be Catholic. “All of our brides and grooms have a deep connection to the university,” explains Founders Chapel Wedding Coordinator Darlene Polak. “That makes these weddings all the more special, because the couples have such a deep love for this campus and for the chapel itself.” In guidelines that are provided to each couple, USD’s Vice President of Mission and Ministry, Monsignor Daniel J. Dillabough ‘70 provides sage advice: “You have been given the opportunity by a specific community of faith to share their worship space with you for your special day. May the Lord greatly bless your marriage, and may your happiness together be limitless.” Sacrament of marr iage a l iving example of Chr i st ’ s love O GOING TO THE CHAPEL
