The Catholic Stella Maris Chapel is now finished and dedication. The formal dedication was held on All Hallows Day followed by open house and a luncheon for all present.
Stella Maris means, in Latin, Star of the Sea, and is a title given to Mary as she protects the ways of mariners, fishermen, and ocean travelers. It is an appropriate name for a little chapel here on the island.
The chapel, which seats eighty-five people, is strikingly beautiful. It has stained glass and tiles reclaimed from historic churches from the past. The pews are reproductions from another church and are remarkably comfortable.
The statue of Mary in the garden is a calm place for meditation and relaxation.
We are happy that island Catholics and visitors alike have this beautiful spiritual home for fellowship and worship.
