Thanks to the many contributions received from generous supporters, the chapel at St. Joseph's Hospital has undergone renovations. The funds raised to date have been used to purchase and install new stained glass windows, furniture, flooring, sound system, and paint.
The Sisters of Mercy announced that the former St. Joseph's Chapel will now be called the Marian Chapel during a recent Mercy Mass Day celebration.
Thank you, donors!
St. Joseph’s Chapel was constructed in 1955, two years after the hospital opened in its current location at Thomas Road and Third Avenue. As the center of the life of the Sisters of Mercy religious community, the Chapel was built between the convent and the hospital so that the Sisters could pass through the Chapel on their way to and from the hospital.
Although the convent no longer exists, St. Joseph’s remains an important part of the life of the Sisters of Mercy in Phoenix.
Additional funds are still needed for new lighting. If you would like to contribute to the renovation of the Marian Chapel, you can make a donation online, or contact St. Joseph’s Foundation at 602-406-3041. Sister Madonna can be reached at 602-406-1047.
