One hundred and twenty-nine years ago on Easter Sunday, April 4, 1897, the altar that now stands in our chapel was dedicated as a gift to the Parish by Fr. Loveridge and his wife. Fr. Loveridge was the Rector at St. Mary's, and also the carver of this beautiful piece of liturgical furniture. It has had quite the journey. It was installed in the original church at 7th and Olive (pictured above), then moved to the second St. Mary's church at 7th and Charnelton, then to our current church at 13th and Pearl, then to the parish of St. Thomas, then to the Triangle Lake Conference Center, before finally coming home again to St. Mary's.
