4/12/13- A local Chaldean Camp will soon be constructing four new chapels on site. The camp, located off of Kellogg Road, is a part of the Chaldean Catholic Diocese. A site plan for the prayer houses was presented to the Genoa Township Planning Commission at a recent meeting. The commission granted approval of the plan pending minor changes regarding clarification of the locations and number of the new buildings. Camp Manager, Sami Herfy, says the new chapels will be spiritual places and will provide additional areas for prayer. The three-sided chapels will be about 300 square feet, and will be built on the South side of the existing church. The area is a large open space that will also feature multiple benches and a statue of St. Jude. The prayer houses will only be used in the summertime and will not have any sort of electricity. The Chaldean Camp will still need to seek the proper building permits from the county building department, but plans to begin construction very soon. (SO)
