Spiritual Life

A community spirit does not just happen of itself. It flows from people who share a common tradition and strive for a common goal outside themselves. Preserve among yourselves a unity, peace, love and kindness. Practice toward one another gentleness, understanding and cooperation.    — Blessed Mary Angela

Holy Family Chapel

The Marywood Holy Family Chapel, dedicated on December 18, 2010, is a sacred and welcoming space open to people of all denominations. Designed to inspire reflection and prayer, the chapel features floor to ceiling windows that offer sweeping views of Marywood’s beautiful grounds. These windows frame the altar cross, creating a striking “floating” visual centerpiece that draws the eye upward and invites contemplation.

A stained glass feature adds a transcendent quality to the space, bathing the chapel in calming hues of blue and enhancing its peaceful, prayerful atmosphere.

Marywood is blessed to receive spiritual support from retired priests of Senior Clergy Village, who celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on Sundays, offer the Anointing of the Sick, and provide pastoral presence to residents. Our rich spiritual tradition continues through the dedicated service of the Felician Sisters, seminarians from Sacred Heart Major Seminary, and Marywood’s spiritual care staff. Together, they offer daily bedside visits, prayer, encouragement, and Holy Communion to residents and their families.

It is a honor and grace to serve the residents of Marywood. Whether I am exchanging smiles, offering support and encouragement through shared conversation, prayers, or song, bringing bedside Holy Communion or holding the hand of the sick and the dying; I know I have touched the heart of Christ through the people I served today.
