Chapel
Dedicated to St. Vincent Pallotti
The chapel dedicated to the Founder of the Pallottines, St. Vincent Pallotti, offers a tranquil atmosphere for personal and communal prayer. The interior is simple and devoid of statues, with three significant elements in the altar area. At the centre is the altar for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist; to its left is the pulpit, representing the Word of God; and to its right is the tabernacle, representing the Blessed Sacrament. Together, these elements highlight the primacy of the Word of God and the Sacrament in the life of Christians as taught by the Vatican II.
