The Chapel Emmanuel inside St. Luke’s The Woodlands Hospital and the Holy Cross Chapel inside St. Luke’s Lakeside Hospital were recently honored with consecration and dedication ceremonies.  

The celebration was led by the Right Reverend Dena A. Harrison and Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, and was attended by Dr. David Fine, president and chief executive officer of St. Luke’s Episcopal Health System, and by the Board of Directors for St. Luke’s The Woodlands Hospital.  

"Chapel Emmanuel is located at the heart of St. Luke’s The Woodlands Hospital as a place of solitude and healing for the mind, body and spirit," said Debra F. Sukin, CEO of St. Luke’s The Woodlands Hospital and St. Luke’s Lakeside Hospital. "It provides a sacred place of worship and peace for people of many faiths, and represents the foundation of who we are and what we do."

"Our Holy Cross Chapel is special because it is adorned with many unique and thoughtful, loving donations," said Diane Freeman, Chief Nursing Officer of St. Luke’s Lakeside Hospital. "When Lakeside Hospital’s construction was completed, there was no money left for Chapel decorations. But people came forward and made a difference."
