A close-up photograph of a polished dark green marble plaque with white veining, featuring an engraved inscription. The plaque was originally installed at the Servants of the Paraclete campus in Jemez Springs and serves as a historical record of the chapel's dedication and the religious orders present at the time.
The inscription reads:
TO
HIS EXCELLENCY
ARCHBISHOP EDWIN V. BYRNE, D.D.
OUR BELOVED FATHER IN CHRIST
THAT OUR GRATITUDE TO GOD,
OUR LADY AND OUR CO-FOUNDER,
MAY RING OUT FOR MANY
CENTURIES OVER THIS
CANYON OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
SERVANTS OF THE HOLY PARACLETE
HANDMAIDS OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD
PALM SUNDAY 1963.
The plaque shows minor physical wear, including a small chip on the top right corner and mounting holes at the corners, documenting its status as a salvaged historical artifact.
