โFinally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable โ if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy โ dwell on these things.โ
โ Philippians 4:8
To all of you who have visited this chapel, found comfort within its walls, been confirmed here, exchanged marriage vows here, prayed here, celebrated here, or simply sat quietly in this sacred place โ our hearts are with you.
The Ross Fire has taken a place that holds more memories, prayers, promises and meaning than words can adequately express.
Mother Nature may have taken the structure, but the Holy Spirit still resides in this sacred place.
Our faith is intact.
The walls may be gone, but what happened within them remains. The marriages blessed here. The prayers lifted. The lives touched. The moments shared. The presence of God felt by so many who walked through these doors.
Mother Nature may have won this battle, but she did not take the heart of this chapel.
We stand together in faith, grateful for every memory made here and every person who has been part of its story. And when the time comes, we will stand ready to restore this sacred place and begin its next chapter.
For now, we hold tightly to our faith and to one another.
The chapel was never simply a building.
And its story is not over.
