Our Chapel

We are very fortunate to have our own private chapel here in the Pastoral Centre and we are well used to sharp intakes of breath when visitors to the Centre see the chapel for the first time, for it is beautiful.  Our stained glass windows are vibrant with colour and depict the Mysteries of the Rosary.  They are the first thing you notice when you enter the chapel.

We use the chapel for groups to meditate in during the day and to celebrate their prayer service in at the end of each retreat day.  

The De La Salle Brothers who live here, use the chapel for their morning and evening prayers too, so it is a well used and much loved sacred space.  

Recently the chapel has had a fresh coat of paint and the floor has been polished to a high shine. The morning after it had all been finished I took this photograph because it looked so peaceful and lovely.

Later on that day, a group from St. Bride's Primary School brought their own vibrant colours to the chapel, celebrating the day that they had in a prayer service of colour, song, scripture, thoughtful prayers and drama.

It is great sometimes to have a chapel all to yourself and spend some quality time with God, but it is equally good to be with others in God's presence, praying together and supporting one another.
