The Legacy Fund

The Legacy Fund is to support the preservation and restoration of The Chapel of the Incarnate Word, Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto, The Brackenridge Villa and our two cemeteries in San Antonio, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri. Our Chapel is more than a physical structure. It is a place of community prayer; it is a place of celebration, solace and solidarity. We hold shared memories, marking moments of joy, sorrow and faith. Currently the physical structure presents us with a major challenge. The impact of the relentless Texas drought and associated soil displacement have made a significant impact on the Chapel’s foundation evident in the visible cracks in both the exterior and interior. Construction has begun with all phases estimated to be complete December 2025. We are confident that this endeavor will stabilize the structure, ensuring future generations the opportunity to gather, worship and pray in The Chapel of the Incarnate Word which is one of the city’s breathtaking landmarks.
