ARCHDIOCESE OF MILITARY SERVICES CHAPEL - WASHINGTON, D.C.
Before Archbishop Timothy Broglio started this renovation, the furniture was made of wood and the tabernacle was placed on the side of the chapel. The centerpiece of his renovation was the altar of sacrifice. It was from Holy Trinity Church in Lorain, Ohio and Henninger's moved and installed in the Archdiocese of Military Services Chapel in Washington, D. C. We also transported marble statues of the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph and constructed a new marble Altar of Repose for their refinished tabernacle.
Henninger's also designed, fabricated and installed a new set of dark wood frame, with custom stained glass panels. The new doors contain glass panels depicting the AMS coat of arms and those of His Excellency, the Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., Archbishop for the Military Services. The doors replace a drab, solid metal door set that was indistinguishable from those along corridors and common areas throughout the five-story, former seminary building. Archbishop Broglio decided to give the stately marble chapel an entrance more fitting a place of worship.
Archbishop Broglio said: “Christ is the Sheepgate and we have to be reminded of His presence. It was my desire to call attention to the location of the chapel so that, as soon as you enter the building, you know what is there. I am very grateful for the craftsmanship and the beauty of the finished product.”
