Blessed Sacrament Chapel
St. Dominic
The current Blessed Sacrament
Chapel to the right of the Sanctuary was originally referred to as the
Sisters' Chapel in honor of the Sisters of St. Dominic who have been a
part of the Parish of St. Agnes since 1917. When the current
Cathedral building was constructed this chapel was reserved for use by the
Dominican Sisters.
A large tracery window depicting
five events in the life of St. Dominic can be found in the chapel.
These events include The Raising of Cardinal Stephen's
Nephew, Trial by Fire, Commission to
Preach, and The Dream of Pope Innocent
III.
Above these is St. Dominic Receives the
Rosary.
St. Dominic Guzman was born in
Spain in 1170. He died in 1221. He was a staunch defender of
the faith and founder of the Order of Preachers commonly referred to as
the Dominicans.
St. Dominic's Feast Day is August
8th
