Students at Michigan Technological University (MTU) creatively navigated Michigan’s COVID-19 restrictions by building an ice chapel with pews to celebrate Mass outdoors, WLUC TV-6 reported.
This marks the 6th annual ice chapel Mass conducted by St. Albert The Great University Parish, an event that is part of a wider MTU Winter Carnival tradition, which began in 1934, WLUC TV-6 reported.
“Every year, we’ll see guests and visitors from the area,” Fr. Ben Hasse, Director of Campus Ministry for St. Albert The Great Parish, told WLUC TV-6. “Often, students will bring their parents, and we get to meet their parents. Students will bring their friends. It’s been a great opportunity to welcome people, to meet them, and to pray with them.”
