HISTORICAL MARKER and TEXT below



Pilgrim Lutheran Church for the Deaf
 and Parsonage

Pilgrim Lutheran Church for the Deaf and adjacent parsonage, constructed by the Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod) in 1941 and 1942 respectively,
are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
 
Pilgrim Chapel is a rare example of a religious building constructed by and for a special needs congregation. This "Church of Silence" provided religious services and social opportunities for deaf and hearing-impaired persons until its closing in 1987.
 
Through its simplicity of design, Pilgrim Chapel embodies the philosophy of its architect, Frederick R. Webber. The parsonage, with its clean modern design typical of residential architecture in the World War Il era, harmonizes with the Gothic-inspired chapel.

 
In 1997, Pilgrim Chapel was acquired for use as a public chapel open to people of all faiths.

#unity_candle



Two styles of the Unity Candle assembly

In most circumstances, it is best for the set of Unity Candles be placed on the altar-table in the chancel area rather than a separate table on the chapel floor. The altar-table is a central focus and requires less movement by the bride and groom going from the chancel area to the chapel floor down and back up more steps. Side-stepping to the floor symbolically can detract from the sense of unity implicit in the Unity Candle ceremony itself.

Often the side candles are lit by the two mothers (sometimes before the wedding begins). During the ceremony, after the vows, the middle candle is lit from the side candles by the couple, silently or as the minister elucidates the meaning of the ritual.
