Chapel’s Journey from France to Marquette | Milwaukee News

Marquette’s president took an unforgettable trip that wove together Vatican diplomacy and a chapel’s quirky French past—meeting Pope Leo XIV in Rome, then visiting the tiny village in France where Marquette’s iconic St. Joan of Arc chapel once stood, sold off in a quirk of history when the town needed new firefighter uniforms. The chapel, shipped to New York and rebuilt on campus in 1964, is now honored with a French plaque—proof the village isn’t bitter, just grateful it didn’t rot away. Meanwhile, Jesuit leaders in Rome discussed AI’s moral challenges with the Pope, who urged universities to teach discernment. And in a sweet twist, Chasse-Sur-Rhône and Milwaukee are now “friendship cities,” planning student swaps, jazz gigs, and even a basketball game—connecting cultures through history, music, and hoops.
