The Church of the Holy Child is right across the road, and also part of Philmont. Once a family chapel, the 1904 structure has been well preserved, and is open for mass on just one day each year - today. 19 year Philmont chaplain, Fr. Don Hummel, presided. The Maxwell family home is just across from it, also being restored, and studied along the way.

A real bonus today was seeing Edwin Terrell roll in from Cypher's Mine, where he is the camp director. It was a joy to be able to introduce him at the church service I was leading as someone from "back home." I will give everyone else the same introduction when you also show up here for a service of worship.
