History edit
The chapel was originally constructed in 1939 as a small "prayer house". From 1974-1975, the building was expanded by adding a choir and a sacristy. The expansion allowed the prayer house to be upgraded to the status of an annex chapel for the parish. The Bishop Tord Godal consecrated the newly renovated chapel on 23 March 1975.[2]
