Walls and ceiling were decorated in a subtle mixture of arches and fluted columns—true beauty through simplicity—but what set the spiritual tone of the chapel were its stained glass windows. The windows above the sanctuary featured five Doctors of the Church (Saints Francis de Sales, Augustine, Jerome, Ambrose and Gregory), all positive role models for aspiring young seminarians. Then, starting on the front left as one faces the altar, and continuing clockwise, came the 15 windows dedicated to the 15 decades of the rosary. It is important to note the orientation of the windows since, on several occasions in this book, a feature of a mystery depicted in, say, a Joyful Mystery window on the left wall is compared with a corresponding feature in a Glorious Mystery window on the wall opposite.

Thus, just as the rosary truths depicted in the windows were critical to the formation of priests 75 years ago, so they continue today to influence the spiritual well-being of all who visit this chapel.
