The St. John Fisher Chapel is located on the St. Thomas More South Campus, 632 Laurel Hill Road.
About the Chapel:
The St. John Fisher Chapel was dedicated by Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama on November 20, 2019. The chapel was formerly used by Aldersgate United Methodist Church for their worship, and it was converted into a Catholic worship space for use by the St. Thomas More Community. Daily Masses on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday are currently celebrated in the chapel.
The crucifix in the chapel is from the original stone St. Thomas More Church, which was located on Gimghoul Road. The altar, ambry, ambo, cantor's stand, and baptismal font were hand-crafted by John McGuire, whose family attends St. Thomas More Church. The original icon of St. John Fisher was commissioned and written by Vivian Bruglia of Sacred Image. There are two reproduction icons of St. Joseph and the child Jesus and Our Lady of Guadalupe on either side of the altar. The Coat of Arms of St. John Fisher at the top of the raredos was also created by Vivian. The Stations of the Cross were previously in the chapel of the now closed Washington Theological Union and were aquired through the family of parishioners.
