Some unique elements to note are:
- Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary (on the left) currently being displayed in the school's Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel. It was donated in 1954 and will continue to be displayed in the new chapel.
- Octagonal Shape to remind us that the dome of Heaven reaches down to meet the Earth in the Sacrament which we celebrate.
- Stations of the Cross that currently hang in the Our Lady of the Rosary Chapel and will find a new home in Our Lady of Memorial Chapel.
- Altar and Holy Water Fonts made of Aurisina Italian Marble and holding the relics of Saints Modestinus and Innocentia. These important keepsakes were donated in 1962 and will be relocated to the new chapel.
