Chapel Construction for Quebec

This process continues to amaze me ~ and I’ve watched and photographed it many times.

 

On July 12 – shortly after delivering the new chapel to Pilot Travel Center, East St. Louis, IL – Cerwin backed this trailer into the TFC shop.

 

This is what the interior looked like that day.

Cerwin had begun the installation of partitions and insulation.

We hope to deliver this chapel to Quebec in late October.

Today Cerwin took it to be sandblasted, where the transformation of the exterior begins. 

 

Cerwin and Claude discussed chapel lettering when we visited the chapel in Woodstock, Ontario, in late July.

I am anxious to see a chapel that is lettered in French, but I expect our Quebec chaplain, Claude Mathieu, is even more excited to see a chapel with French lettering!
