Beautiful! Finally! We've been checking out their website anxious to see updated photos.
Who are the saints on either side of the Holy Family. I assume St. John on the left but is that St. Ignatius on the right?
In a Dominican Chapel?????

God bless you as you prepare for your entrance day!

It is difficult to tell, but on the left of the Holy Family is St Mary Magdalene and on the right is St Francis Xavier. It is an absolutely beautiful chapel! I can't to enter!

[FutureSoror]

The choir stalls face the altar, but they are open on one side so the sisters can face the center for recitation of the office.

[Guest phatdaddy]

Wow (is that a word?) absolutely beautiful, breathtaking. I tell you, those Dominicans can build some awesome chapels

[onlygrace08]

That is absolutely beautiful!! breathtaking!!

[Piccoli Fiori JMJ]

Beautiful. That is all I can say...

Actually, I lied, there is so much I could say about it, but it is beyond words

[HeavenlyCalling]

That is really, really beautiful, I've been waiting sooo long to see the new chapel, thanks!

[brendan1104]

Is Mass offered facing the people or the Tabernacle? Or does the celebrant choose? I think the Sisters there kneel for Communion, right?

[the_rev]

I can't wait to be ordained a priest now adn celebrate mass there for my friends entering that order!

[douknostcecilia]

That is absolutely beautiful.

[FutureSoror]

All of thier Masses that I've participated in or saw picutures of were facing the sisters/people. I think the term is 'ad populum', right?

For receiving Communion the sisters bow, and then receive on the tongue with a paten.
