The Chapel of the Annunciation at the Catholic Center was designed in collaboration with students who championed an austere look for an ability to focus on their faith and prayer without distractions. Among the stained glass windows and artwork in the chapel designed by Lyle Novinski is the beautiful image of the Madonna. The Madonna was created as a veiled lady with her hand upheld as a gesture of acceptance, which Novinski thought, particularly revenant for the college campus.
In 2018, members of the community commisioned a commemorative miniature sun catcher (pictured above) ornament that students and others can carry home to remember their time at the ministry, at SMU, and Mary's loving spirit that cares for them.
