St. Joseph's Chapel

St. Joseph's Chapel is filled with warm and inviting woodwork. It reminds us the carpentry work Jesus learned from his father on earth, St. Joseph.

Three Crosses Stained Glass

A circular stained-glass window inside the Chapel commemorates the moments when the three major crosses at the Shrine were erected. "As each of the three large crosses was dropped into position, a perfectly round and multicolored large circle of light appeared around the sun and then faded away. This happened three different times, once each as each cross was erected....It is now...reported as a historical fact that such did happen...." (Fr. Robert J. Fox, "Thoughts of a Pastor," The National Catholic Register, April 8, 1973.)
