The
seminary chapel is the most important space in the diocese. Here the seminarian
learns to pray regularly, or at least consolidates his patterns of prayer in
good times and bad, in times of enthusiasm and times of dryness.
Archbishop Eric D’Arcy
These sentiments of the late Archbishop of
Hobart informed the design not only of the chapel, but the entire Carlton
seminary. The fittings of the College were minimised to deliberately contrast
with the more elaborate furnishing of the chapel and to emphasise the
chapel’s importance and centrality to the life of the seminary. Most
visitors agree that Corpus Christi Chapel is the most beautiful quarter of the
Carlton complex.
