BOSTON – Decades ago, the little maritime chapel in South Boston's Seaport District provided a haven for weary sailors and fishermen docked along the waterfront. But as the economy shifted, so did the demographics of the chapel's parish, though not its original purpose.
During a dedication ceremony Thursday, the Rev. James Flavin, Episcopal Vicar for the Central Region of Boston's Archdiocese, blessed and raised the wooden cross to the top of a new, albeit still modest chapel to replace the 63-year-old shoe-box shaped building at 65 Northern Ave. known to dockworkers and rail bosses as the Chapel of Our Lady of Good Voyage.
