Construction has recently started for a chapel which is being constructed to commemorate 500 years since the first Catholic mass was celebrated in Cozumel, which is considered by many to be the first ever on Mexican soil.

 

The project overcame several obstacles, including adjustments to accommodate security measures for arriving airplanes.  It’s expected to be completed in time for the celebrations that will coincide with the 500th anniversary of the mass:   May 6, 2018.

 

Inicia la construcción de la capilla conmemorativa de 500 años

Homenaje a la primera misa católica. . . 

En fechas recientes comenzó la construcción de una capilla para conmemorar 500 años desde que se celebrara la primera misa católica en Cozumel; que muchos consideran como la primera en celebrarse en suelo mexicano.

 

El proyecto tuvo que afrontar diversos obstáculos, entre estos, ajustar las medidas de seguridad en el aterrizaje de las aeronaves. Se espera que la edificación concluya a tiempo para las celebraciones que coincidirán con el 500º aniversario de la misa el 6 de mayo del año 2018.
