Four Chaplains Ceremony

Feb 1, 2025, 11 AM to 12 PM

The ceremony honors the selfless service of the Four Chaplains, who gave their lives to save others servicemen while the USAT Dorchester was sinking after being torpedoed by a German U- boat on February 3, 1943 in what was one of the largest sea disasters of WWII.

Gilman and Lunenburg Methodist minister Chaplain George L Fox was one of the Four Chaplains and a true Vermont hero. The Four Chaplain's sacrifice and bravery continue to inspire generations. To honor Rev. Fox's legacy, we have created a memorial that not only pays tribute to his heroic actions but also serves as a place of worship and reflection. This memorial chapel will host The Four Chaplains Ceremony each year either on or the Saturday before February 3rd.
