Description
A centered, head-on view of a bronze memorial plaque inside the Mary, Mother of Priests Chapel in Jemez Springs, New Mexico.
The image highlights:
The Memorial Text: The plaque requests prayers for the soul of Helene M. Henderson and acknowledges a donation made to the church in her memory.
Institutional Funding: It specifically credits the Catholic Church Extension Society, an organization founded in 1905 to support "mission territory" dioceses in the United States, which includes much of rural New Mexico.
Aesthetic Details: The plaque features a simple Latin cross at the top and is rendered in raised, gold-toned lettering against a dark, pebbled metallic background.
Physical Mounting: The rectangular plaque is neatly fastened to the white interior wall with four screws, mirroring the clean and organized mid-century aesthetic of the chapel’s interior.
