* The Eucharistic monstrance is five feet, two inches tall, and has been entirely fashioned from sacrifical gifts of jewelry.
* Nine species of imported marble make up the sanctuary altar's construction. The frontal area has three masterful mosaics depicting Eucharistic themes.
* The inner walls of the gold plated tabernacle are etched with the names of the original benefactors of the chapel.
* The baldachin surrounding the monstrance is gold-leafed and made of Rosa Carallo marble and teakwood. The ceiling is gold-leafed, as well.
