Pray in Gethsemane Chapel
Gethsemane Chapel is named for the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus as well as our founders prayed for God's will in their lives. You are invited to do the same.
This humble chapel is home to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. The Tabernacle doors normally remain closed, but rest assured that Jesus is present and ready to spend time with you here.
- Stations of the Cross line the walls, containing small fragments of each Station in Jerusalem along the Via Dolorosa where Christ carried the Cross.
- Replica of St. Juan Diego's tilma, the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, is located to the right
- Stone from Monte Sant'Angelo, where St. Michael the Archangel appeared, is located near Our Lady of Guadalupe's image
