Designed by Father Bouilon, architect, and built in 1888 in the Tudor style. There is a resemblance to Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey, an excellent example of Gothic or pointed architecture. Building features fan vaulting delicately picked it in gold trifoil, high spring arches, enormous stained glass windows which all relate to more elaborate structures in Europe usually of a much earlier period.
