The Siasconset Union Chapel was built in 1883 as an ecumenical “House of Worship” and has hosted Protestant and Roman Catholic services for many years since. The Chapel is at the heart of the “Sconset community. It is the meeting place for prayer, song, message, marriage, contemplation and a place for annual renewal and resumption of friendships.
The ‘Sconset Chapel property consists of the Chapel building, a parsonage, the community green and the memorial gardens with our Columbarium. In 2007, the Massachusetts Historical Commission granted an historic preservation restriction to the Chapel ensuring that it will remain as is for years to come.

I will remember the summer of 2011 as one of the most active in the long history of the Chapel. Services were held on Sundays and Thursdays from June 12th to September 18th, save for the weekend when Hurricane Irene paid our island a windy and wet visit. I would like to thank all of those who served our community as readers, greeters, ushers, docents and participants in the service commemorating the tenth anniversary of 9/11. And it goes without saying that those who serve on the Board of Trustees and its committees deserve the appreciation of all of us for the good work that they do on our behalf!

This was my second summer as pastor of St. Mary's, and it was even more interesting and exciting than last summer. Once you get to know your way around and know more people, ministry becomes more engaging.

Behold Campaign Co-Chairs
Dear Chapel Members & Friends,
Three years ago, the Behold Campaign began as a board conversation about the future of the Chapel. Revenue at the Sconset Chapel varied from year to year—some years the Chapel made its budget while other years it fell a little short. Then Board President, Don Porter, appointed us to co-chair a capital campaign which was termed "Behold. The "silent" segment of the campaign began to secure seed money for the campaign.

Letter from the board chair
Fall 2011
From Jeff Lockhart
Dear Chapel Members & Friends,
The last Sunday service of the season took place on 9/18 and the congregation sang, "God Be With You Until We Meet Again". Although not all of you could be present, you were there in spirit. The last wedding takes place on Columbus weekend and then the kneelers will be stored in Amen for safe keeping. So ends our 128th year.
