Elizabeth Gentile: Saint Margaret's Chapel Behind the Scenes Christmas is a difficult time of the year to set up your tripod in churches with all the decorating and holiday activities taking place. I managed to find a slow moment at St. Margaret's to capture the pictures which took about 45 minutes. It is best to take several panoramas at the same location because then you have a choice and a backup for unseen circumstances. Yes, things do not always go smoothly...The woman at the back of the chapel is named Mary - she is a friend and is waiting patiently for me to do my photography, we had just finished our weekly breakfast before the shoot. Mary was married in this chapel years ago and is the sister of Nettie. Most of what I know about St. Margaret's came from Mary and Isabelle who works for the Parish. My thanks to them for their help. The choice of my Sanctuary was easy - I knew a very wonderful woman, Nettie Massaro, who loved St. Margaret's and whose funeral mass had been said there last June. Although I am not a Catholic, I recognized the importance of this place for the local parishioners and could see that this was and is a destination for people seeking sanctuary through prayer and thoughtful meditation.
