A large mission cross is found at the entrance. It features the instruments from The Passion: the spear that impaled His body, the dice the soldiers used
to cast for His robe, and the crown of thorns He was forced to wear.

In 2015, a set of 12 stained contemporary glass windows created by Father Kim En Joong was installed. Kim En Joong is a Korean artist who has
developed a spiritual art form based on light and colour. His works combine Far-East forms and Western colours.
