FORT BENNING - About 600 people at Fort Benning are without a church this morning after a 55-year-old Catholic chapel burned down Saturday. <br>
<br>
The white structure typically hosted three masses per weekend. The fire started because of an electrical failure. <br>
<br>
The chapel seated 350 and hosted many on-base weddings. Masses have been moved to an infantry chapel and to the officers' supper club. <br>
<br>
The incident remains under investigation by the post's internal Criminal Investigation Division.
