T
he Holy Family Shrine is loca
ted at the end of the North Aisle to the left of the chancel (see first photo below).

In the Holy Farmly Shrine there is a quarry stained glass window with a grisaille background and inserted stained glass chalice

The figures of Mary and Joseph and the child Jesus were carved from linden wood and are polychromed. The group was designed and executed by Leslie H. Nobbs, ecclesiastical designer of New York City.

Placed over the figures is a canopy and behind them is material of blue silk damask used during the coronation ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey.

The Holy Family Shrine was dedicated May 17, 1958.

Lady Chapel

The Lady Chapel, is located in a different part of the building. The "Lady Chapel" is so called because it is dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus.
