New Palmyra Chapel Progressing

PALMYRA, NEW YORK -- A new 24,000-square-foot LDS chapel in Palmyra, New York is progressing well, says Rochester Stake President David Cook. "I am thrilled . . . They are a few weeks ahead of schedule." Construction started in September, just two months after groundbreaking, and is expected to be completed by this summer for an October dedication. The chapel replaces a 16,000-square-foot building sold recently to the town of Palmyra for use as a town hall. The Palmyra ward outgrew the previous building and now has between 500 and 600 members. The new building is designed to serve as a stake center, as well as accomodate events associated with the annual Hill Cumorah Pageant.
