Description

To the left side of the sanctuary is the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament where the tabernacle is located.  Once again, the chapel is in relationship to the other sanctuary furnishings through its design.  From the ceiling of the chapel, a shower of manna descends over the Blessed Sacrament, a symbol of the ancient food from heaven that sustained God’s people of Israel.  So too today, God feeds His people with the living manna, which is the sacramental Body and Blood of Christ.  His Eucharistic presence remains in the tabernacle for our adoration and worship.
