Chapel at St. Mary's Hospital

I've commented before that St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester is a beautiful facility. And I had heard that they had an amazing chapel. On a recent visit with one of my pastors, I finally got a chance to see it, and I was blown away!

I did my clinical pastoral education at Fairview Ridges Hospital in Burnsville, which was also a very nice facility. But the chapel there was intentionally inter-religious and quite simple, containing very little symbolism. It was really just a small, quiet room in which to escape the noise and activity of the hospital.

So, with that concept of a "hospital chapel" in my mind, I was not prepared for this....
















Stunning! It seats 400. Check out the 360-degree panorama views here.
