Planning for the construction of a small chapel for our parish began in 2022. The impetus to construct a chapel came from Dr. Charles Abraham of blessed memory who wished to construct a chapel dedicated to the Mother of God. He began donating funds for this purpose, and in 2023 the parish entered into a contract with DJM Architects for design services.
We have explored several locations and finally determined the best site would be on the northwest corner of the church, utilizing existing space off the narthex with an addition that would also include a bell tower. Unfortunately, Dr. Abraham fell asleep in the Lord in April of 2023, but the committee has moved forward with the project. Dr. Abraham's great wish was that it include a stained glass window depicting the Mother of God.
A construction update: The the parish entered into a contract with E. P. Leach & Sons for the construction of our chapel and bell tower in July 2025 and the site preparation begun in late August 2025.
