Celebrating heritage: Tenth Ward to observe building's centennial
One Salt Lake ward will get the chance to celebrate a centenarian birthday Saturday, Sept. 5. But instead of singing "Happy Birthday" to one of the ward members, they will be blowing out the candles to commemorate a historical chapel.
The Tenth Ward, one of the original 19 wards in the Salt Lake Valley, will commemorate a structure that has had its share of influential moments in church history on Saturday and honor the still-burning pioneer spirit that resides within the boundaries of the ward.
"We feel lucky to celebrate it," said Bishop Nick Berger of the 10th Ward in the Salt Lake Park Stake. "This is a special place, where special things have happened. It's where President (Gordon B.) Hinckley gained his testimony of the Prophet (Joseph Smith) and the Restoration. There are things in this chapel that modern ones don't have."
