Mount Pleasant Retirement Village chapel dedication

Mount Pleasant Retirement Village will dedicate its new $1.5 million chapel beginning at 2 p.m. on Sept. 24. The event is being held at the village, 225 Britton Lane. Mount Pleasant broke ground last October on the chapel now named for Mary H. Kittredge, the lead donor for the project, which was funded entirely through private donations. Kittredge, of Dayton, passed away in July just before her 100th birthday. The two-story, 3,724-square-foot chapel addition for the existing assisted living facility facing Britton Lane will seat 154 residents on the main floor and include an indoor 40-seat balcony, officials said. The chapel will provide designated space for church services, which have been held in meeting rooms or activity rooms. The multipurpose venue also will be used for community-wide events and performances, they said.
