40 Days, 40 Churches
Day 3: St. Anthony's Chapel, Gloucester MA
St. Anthony's is a seasonal chapel, one which I didn't even know existed until friends of ours got married there a couple of years ago. As you might imagine, a seasonal chapel doesn't have much by way of environmental controls, so when you're in a wedding in July, it's good to have the occasional sea breeze that comes from the chapel being very close to the ocean.
The chapel is part of a family of churches that have become one parish in the wake of the various church closings around here over the last few years. There are familial ties to a couple of the other churches in this parish. St. Ann's is where my paternal grandparents were married; I'll leave the other one for another day.
