Construction will start this month on Our Lady of Good Voyage in the South Boston Seaport District — a new chapel to replace the original built by the Archdiocese of Boston in 1952 to serve seamen and other waterfront workers.
Seaport Square developers Boston Global Investors and Morgan Stanley will break ground on the new one-story chapel Nov. 21 at 51 Seaport Boulevard, near the intersection of Sleeper Street on what's now a parking lot. The new chapel, at the foot of the Evelyn Moakley Bridge, will be fronted by a public square.
The existing one-story, red brick chapel on Northern Avenue — dwarfed in an area with new and under-construction high-rises — will be demolished.
Boston Global Investors and Morgan Stanley struck a deal with the Archdiocese of Boston for the new church to make way for an office tower as part of the $3.5 billion, 23-acre, mixed-use Seaport Square project.
Built as a "worker chapel" on land donated by a New Haven Railroad president, the chapel often is referred to as the "Fish Pier chapel."
It's part of South Boston's St. Vincent de Paul parish. The chapel is included in the Massachusetts Historical Commission's inventory of historic and archaeological assets, but not listed on state or national registers of historic places.
The new one-story church, which will sit on a 5,000-square-foot lot, is slated to be finished by Christmas 2015. When completed, Boston Global Investors and Morgan Stanley will sell it to the Archdiocese of Boston for a nominal fee.
