Gannon University’s Mary Seat of Wisdom Chapel was built in 1989. The beginnings of a Christian church on this site go back to the year 1860 when the congregation of the First Presbyterian church dedicated a brick edifice with a towering steeple. This congregation had organized in 1815 in the humble surroundings of an old military barracks at Third and Sassafras Streets. The present church was built in 1950. Its congregation merged with the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant in January of 1981 and is now the First Presbyterian Church of the Covenant on West Sixth Street. Gannon University purchased the property and its buildings that year with a view to continuing the church as the University Chapel. Construction began in May 1989. Completion date was scheduled for September 1, 1989. The chapel is located at the corners of of Sixth and Peach Streets. (http://www.gannon.edu/mission/chapel/history.asp)
