The families of 5 th graders are invited to attend a class explaining the Mass at 4 PM on Saturday, January 12 th in the school cafeteria. After the class, we will attend the 5 PM Mass to see what was learned in the class session in practice.

Students are asked to do random acts of kindness, and write them on a dove to be posted in a public place for you to see.

13 Transept Two side chapels form the transept and give the Basilica its cruciform outline. On the left side, or the Gospel side of the nave, the chapel is dedicated to the honor of the Sacred Heart; it is balanced on the right, or Epistle side, by a symmetrical chapel dedicated to St. Joseph. Actually, if you will observe the framework of the building, you will notice that the first two bays appear wider than the others, for they open on either side to give access to these chapels. The tall, gray limestone piers form the dividing line separating each chapel from the nave. Separated, yet not disunited, they form one integrated whole. The oak paneling along the side aisles follows the exterior walls and becomes the wood wainscoting, discharging warmth and subdued coloration to the rear and outer wall of the chapel. The marble altar--or communion--railing, one a slightly recessed plane, conformable with the size of the chapel, is nevertheless, joined with the railing of the nave, and made of the same imported Spanish marble, with a continuation of the pattern of metal artwork in each open panel. If you should stand in the side aisle, almost in front of the Confessionals, just outside the side chapels, and lift your eyes to see the ceiling, you will once more be introduced into the grandeur of Gothic--the enormous height of the ceiling compared with the horizontal dimensions of the chapels, the convergence of the trusses, the soaring, graceful lines of lancet arches, crossing each other in perspective, the emphasis upon delicate motion upward.
