5 Please help furnish our new Adoration Chapel We were able to find some beautiful items at very reasonable prices to decorate our Adoration Chapel. If you would like to help us purchase them, please contact our business manager at or Any size donation is welcome. (Enlarged to show detail) The window is 5 feet by 4 feet and includes a smaller 1 foot Angel image that will be included in the door of the Chapel. This gorgeous image of the Last Supper was made in Munich in the 1890 s (the best in the world at that time and the same as the windows in our Cathedral). They were given their 100-year restoration just 10 years ago. These windows were rescued from a closed church in New York. The detail and craftsmanship are priceless and exquisite. We are very fortunate to have this one-of-a-kind treasure at a bargain price. Stained Glass Windows, purchased, shipped, reframed, & installed: $23,000 Tabernacle, delivered and installed: $2,500 Chapel chairs: $2,400 Sanctuary Lamps: $2,000 Crucifix: $1,500 Door with stained glass insert: $1,000
