The first place to visit after the gift shop is the mission museum. Here among other artifacts you see a chalice and paten and a ciborium veil. A ciborium is a goblet-shaped vessel for holding eucharistic bread. A paten is a plate usually made of precious metal and used to carry the bread at the Eucharist.
