The baptismal font, a gift of Lieutenant Weis' grandmother, Mrs. Grace A. Rolph, was constructed in oak with simple lines, in keeping with the chapel's furnishings. It was dedicated on January 12, 1947, by Reverend R. Renison, Bishop of the Diocese of Moosonee, who also dedicated the stained glass window gifted by Lieutenant Wies' parents in memory of their son who died in the Second World War.
