The Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament contains two prie-dieux (pronounced /ˌprē ˈdyə/), which are kneeling benches used for personal prayer. Each employs an identical cushion, designed by Sylvia Elizabeth Boyd. The central flowers are lilies, symbolic of St. Anne and of her daughter Mary. The wheat and grapes symbolize the bread and wine of the Holy Eucharist.
The wooden prie-dieu benches were lovingly crafted for St. Anne’s by artisan Charles Bargeron.
