| General View of the Chapel | Stained Glass Window Detail |
This tranquil chapel is used daily by the Claretian Community and frequently by the many groups attending Retreats at the Towers. On Maundy Thursday it houses the Altar of Repose where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved until Good Friday.
To the right is a statue of St. Anthony Mary Claret, designed and executed by Jane Quail who was also responsible for the crucifix. Her husband, Paul, was responsible for the windows in this chapel - those on the side being of resin glass in an abstract design, and the main window depicting the Resurrection.
