San Pedro Ward - Part 1




The San Pedro Ward chapel.  This has to be one of the coolest, most original chapels in all the church.  Originally, the wall with the windows was an outside wall but a new wing was added on that side and the windows became light boxes.  The large window at the back of the chapel went to the cry-room.  It was a great place to hang out when you didn't want to sit in the chapel itself.  Of course, you had to listen to all the babies up there that were crying.  I remember my first meeting in this chapel.  Well, sort of.  We were sitting near the back, in the center, and I went to sleep.  About two-thirds of the way back, in the center, was the row that we kids always called "death-row."  It was where all the old widows would sit together.  One of them was Sister Lambertson.  She was the one that my mom and dad would get to come and babysit us when they went out.  She eventually left death-row in the usual manner.
