2016-07-14 - The Chapel of the Four Chaplains was dedicated on February 3, 1951, by President Harry S. Truman to honor these chaplains of different faiths in the basement of Grace Baptist Church of Philadelphia. In 1972, that congregation moved to Blue Bell and sold the building to Temple University two years later. Temple University eventually decided to renovate the building as the Temple Performing Arts Center.[48] In February 2001, the Chapel of the Four Chaplains moved to the chapel at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The Four Chaplains served together on the S.S. Dorchester that was torpedoed and sank 2/3/43 off Newfoundland, killing 674 people; the chaplains (Methodist, Catholic, Reformed Church and Jewish) gave up their lifejackets and were heard praying and singing hymns as the 230 survivors boarded lifeboats and as the ship sank. -Database Manager
