The complex was upgraded in 1984 and presented to the SRC for its administrative needs. The chapel with its stained glass windows is often used for weddings and church services. The chapel was known as the Church of Saint Alfons Maria de Liguori, after Saint Alfons, the founder of the order of Ligournians, or Redemptionists, who was declared a saint in 1839. This order was dedicated to helping poor communities and was founded in 1732, in Naples, Italy. The beautiful stained glass windows of the chapel were created by Léo Theron. A commemorative plaque at the entrance of the monastery hall honours soldiers belonging to the Catholic Church who died during World War II.3266332 bytesimage/jpegenUniversity of PretoriaTukkiewerfOld MonasteryChapelChurch of Saint Alfons Maria de LiguoriCatholic ChurchMain campusUniversity of Pretoria -- BuildingsUniversity of Pretoria -- HistoryChurch architecture -- South Africa -- PretoriaChurch buildings -- South Africa -- PretoriaStained glass windows -- South Africa -- PretoriaImage
