Shrine Areas

horizontal rule

 

In 1976 a new Reconciliation Room was created in the space formerly used as a sacristy. This room is located to the right of the sanctuary. The former confessionals provided a natural space for shrines. On the right side of the church is the famous scene known as Pieta. This is a replica of the Michelangelo's original, which is displayed in the Vatican. Our parish "Book of Prayers" is also located here. The prayers written here are remembered in each Mass offered in our parish. Opposite this area is another shrine which is home to the beautiful statues of Our Blessed Mother and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Our Lady of Perpetual Help is also enshrined here. The kneeler provides a place of quiet reflection and prayer.
