St. Thomas More Chapel sanctuary. Every element of the chapel has its own distinct character and unique design. At the same time all of the chapel elements - the art glass windows, the crucifix, the doors and door surround, the font, the altar and the tabernacle - were created to complement one another, and to work harmoniously in the architectural space.
