Founders Chapel Tours

Take a tour of the "hidden jewel of USD."

Founders Chapel, begun in 1951 and completed in 1953, was designed by Mother Rosalie Hill and contains much history and treasured art. Bishop Charles F. Buddy dedicated the chapel on February 2, 1954. If you are interested in learning more about Founders Chapel, we encourage you to participate in a tour of this special place either in person or virtually.
