St Mary's General Hospital Chapel Kitchener Ontario
A Photo Essay
Last year my mother-in-law took a spill and spend some time in recovery at this hospital. My kids and I spend some time in the chapel and I appreciated the history. This is a photo essay of the chapel.
I especially appreciated the Stations of the cross, and the statues of Joseph and Mary; there is a plaque on the wall stating:
"A gift from the founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton, the statues of Mary and Joseph were cast in 1861 and graced the original Motherhouse chapel for the next ninety-four years. They were relocated from the Motherhouse chapel in Dundas in 1955, and remained there until its closing in 2019. In 2023, they arrived in their new home ... the chapel of St. Mary's General Hospital Kitchener.
May their presence in this chapel be a reminder that we are richly blessed."
We are informed on the hospital website that:
"The Resurrection chapel is open at all times and is available for the use of all who wish to access it for the purpose of quiet prayer and reflection. It is located on the third floor of the hospital. This sacred space is also used for our Interdenominational Services, Catholic Mass, Memorial Services and more."
