On
Marquette University’s campus in Wisconsin, you’ll find a fairly ordinary
looking chapel dedicated to St. Joan of Arc.
But
looks can be deceiving. This chapel actually has three amazing things
about it:
First, it contains
a stone on which St. Joan of Arc may have personally prayed. That makes the
stone a third class relic.
Second, it was
originally built in France in the 15th century and moved to
Wisconsin at a later date.
And third,
since Mass is still offered there several times a week, it is the oldest
structure in the western hemisphere still used for its original purpose.
