A special mass and blessing celebrated the newly renovated St. Anthony Hospital Chapel.
Tom and Judy Love made a generous donation to St. Anthony Foundation to renovate the 42 year-old chapel in honor of Archbishop Emeritus Eusebius J. Beltran. The renovation included many updates, including the addition of a stained glass window, almost a century old, of Saint Anthony. The beautiful stained glass window was added to thechapel entry visible from the hospital lobby.
Built in 1973, with over 27,000 visitors a year, the chapel has brought hope and comfort to many over the years. ā€œThe chapel is a place of refuge and worship for patients, family members, staff and physicians,ā€ said Karen Green, Director of Pastoral Services. ā€œThe very spirit of the chapel brings consolation and strength to people of all faiths,ā€ she added.
ā€œWe are truly appreciative of the generous donation made by the Love family. With their kind gift we were able to enhance the St. Anthony chapel resulting in a lovely place of worship, where our patients, guests, and staff can find peace and comfort,ā€ said Tammy Powell, President of St. Anthony Hospital.
