Jewish and Protestant congregations in this upstate area are cooperating in raising funds for an interfaith chapel at the St. Lawrence State Hospital, a mental institution which serves six northern counties of New York State.
Thus far only ten percent of the $250, 000 needed for the chapel has been raised, but appeals for funds will be made next Sunday in Protestant church a in all six counties. The hospital serves 2, 500 patients, 1, 300 of whom are Protestants, 200 Jewish and the remainder Catholic. The Catholics have had a chapel at the institution for nearly 50 years, but the other two faiths have held services in the recreation hall.
