The Roman catholic Chapel follows the same architectural themes as the Protestant Chapel above it.
A glass mosaic mural is behind the altar. Superimposed on the mural depicting the Annunciation are two 10-foot tall marble figures, The Blessed Mother on the left, and the Archangel Gabriel on the right. Above and between these two figures is a marble dove, symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Along the side walls are the 14 stations of the cross, carved from four-inch thick slabs of marble.
