The chapel, which was consecrated in 1889, originally featured an elaborate interior, with eight side altars and two large paintings over the high altar depicting scenes from the life of St. Anthony. The chapel was redecorated in 1978 in a more simple style, at which time the paintings were covered.

At the back of the chapel, the shrine features a first-class relic of St. Anthony. The relic is visible at the base of the St. Anthony statue (large photo, right), and in a close-up (Far right, circular photo). First-class relics are parts of the body or bones of a saint, while second-class relics are objects that were used by or associated with a saint (or somehow with the Lord). A third-class relic is a piece of cloth or something that has been touched to a first- or second-class relic.
