Support Our Mission

Support the restoration of our historic chapel by making a donation. Donations will be used to restore the foundation and structure of the sanctuary, which is over 170 years old. Without the necessary repairs, the chapel will continue to deteriorate, and with it a piece of our history will be lost.
