BRADLEYMEMORIAL
CHAPEL COMMITTEE
Dear Friend of
the Co nmunity:
For the past , everal years the Southington
Clergy A, ,,ociation has been working with
Bradley Memorial Hospital to improve the
level of pastoral care at the hospital. The
Ecumenical Laity Group h as joined in this
effort and three months ago Bradley
Memorial t tospital designated two rooms on
the third floor of the hospital to be used to
enhance the pastoral care program. One of
the rooms will be used as a chapel and the
- other as a pastoral care office. The office is
being provided by the hospital and the
chapel will be decorated and furnished by
the Southington community. The total cost
of the chapel will be twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000) and that will include a.large
stained glass window, appropriate furniture, and a total remodeling of the room.
I am the chairman of the Bradley Memorial Chapel Committee and our intention is to raise the necessary
monev for the construction of the chapel. The Committee is composed of members of the Southington
religi6us community and the chapel will be non-denominational in character and a place that all can use
for prayer and meditation.
It is the Committee's hope that individuals like you will contribute money towards the construction of the
chapel.
Our ecumenical committee is enthusiastic about this venture and we hope that you will help make the
Bradley Memorial Chapel a reality. All contributions should be sent to:
THE BRADLEY MEMORIAL CHAPEL FUND
