The Chapel of the Assumption will be opening today, Saturday May 28th, with several improvements having been accomplished over the winter. The stone cheek walls at the entrance, which had a flaking and cracked surface, have been repaired and refinished, and the walkway has been given an easier-to-clean attractive terrazo finish. Inside, in the rear left corner a pre-owned digital organ has just been installed for the opening Mass to celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi. Father Rendell Torres has asked the organist from Our Lady of Hope to play at the opening Mass, and then on Saturdays in July through Labor Day weekend.
Finally, a beautiful new altar and ambo (podium), are scheduled to arrive soon which will integrate the Miraculous Medal design. These will also coordinate more closely with the new floor and the refinished pews. Most importantly, the altar and ambo will have a dignity befitting their meaning and function as central elements of the Holy Mass.
