Chapel Area

In addition to general seating for Masses, the chapel area is used today for private prayer and Adoration.  A skylight provides natural light to the altar, which again retains the original brickwork and is guarded by two angels.  Two statues – one of the risen Christ, one of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Friday after the second Sunday after Pentecost) – alternate on the wall behind the altar based on the liturgical season. 

To the left of the altar is the Tabernacle, which houses the Eucharist outside of Mass.  The front of the Tabernacle includes symbols of a bread basket and fish, recalling the Eucharistic miracles recorded in the Gospels.  The Sanctuary Lamp hangs above the Tabernacle, indicating and honoring the presence of Christ in the consecrated host.
