Welcome to the Blessed Sacrament & Reconciliation Chapel, a serene oasis within the Minor Basilica of St. Anne. This sacred sanctuary is a haven dedicated to spiritual growth, healing, and thoughtful contemplation. Here, you are warmly invited to experience a close connection with Jesus Christ, with every activity and moment centered around this divine communion.

​

The Blessed Sacrament refers to the Eucharist, particularly the consecrated elements of bread and wine that Catholics believe become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ during the Mass. This transformation, known as transubstantiation, is a central tenet of the Catholic faith. When the Eucharist is displayed in the chapel outside of Mass times, it's referred to as the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is a form of worship where believers sit in silent prayer and reflection in the presence of the Eucharist, fostering a personal and intimate connection with Jesus Christ.

​

Reconciliation, also known as Confession or Penance, is a sacrament in which Catholics confess their sins to a priest in a confidential setting. It's an act of honesty and courage, an opportunity to repent and seek forgiveness for sins committed against God and other people. The priest, acting in the person of Christ, grants absolution and thus restores the sinner's relationship with God and the Church. This sacrament is a profound experience of God's mercy and a pathway to spiritual healing and renewal.

​

Whether you're a practicing Catholic or a visitor of different faith or beliefs, we welcome you to this sacred space. We invite you to open your heart to the spiritual experience that awaits. May your visit to the Blessed Sacrament & Reconciliation Chapel be a source of peace, healing, and spiritual enrichment.
