The Chancery



About once a month when I was growing up,
my dad would mention that he had to go to
the chancery office, for a meeting. Chancery is a
fancy word for "main office." It was located on
Dayton Avenue, by the Cathedral of St. Paul.

He was the Superintendent of Gethsemane 
Cemetery in New Hope. It did not pay much,
but he was the perfect person for the job. His
actual employer was the Archdiocese of St. 
Paul and Minneapolis.

I always wondered about this building.
I had never seen it until this photograph 
was published in a local newspaper.
