The Sacristy (Old Chapel)

The sacristy, together with the space occupied by the main altar of the Church, constituted the little chapel built probably in 1662 when Fr. Warren became the first resident pastor. The chapel porch was enclosed to conform to the law that "no one may enter a Roman Catholic chapel except through a private residence."

Seven Jesuits are believed to be buried under the sacristy.
