The Blessed Sacrament Center

The church's ornamental tabernacle is the focal point of the Blessed Sacrament Center.  It is located directly behind the wrought iron games which separate it form the altar, thus making it visible to the congregation. It was made in the United States of highly polished bronze. On its pedestal, which mirrors the decorative tile designs of the altar and ambo, it stands 44 inches high and 20 inches in diameter. 

The contents of the tabernacle are accessed through double doors on opposite sides accommodating a large number of ciborium with the consecrated hosts needed at each Mass.  The tabernacle is surrounded by twelve chairs, representing the Apostles' presence at the Last Supper.

The chalice, which performs a sacred role in the Mass is an accurate replica of the original 12th century St. Remy chalice housed in the Cathedral of Reims, France.  It is completely handmade in brass 24K gold plate, and set with 32 genuine stones including amethysts, lapis lazulis, green venturines and garnets as well as cloisonné fired enamel.

The Working Sacristy Room is located behind the baptistery. This separate sacristy provides needed space for preparation of the gifts and other Mass functions.
