The Animal Chapel is a sacred sanctuary for your heart and the animals you love. It is a place to honor the human-animal bond. Whether you bring tears of joy for your new friend, or tears of grief for the one you miss, you and your pets are honored here, wherever you are in your love journey.
As an ordained Animal Chaplain, and a lifelong pet parent, I know intimately the joy and love our animal companions bring to our hearts, and I also know the deep sorrow of their loss. When I was in school to become an Animal Chaplain, I realized how healing it was to have a sacred place to honor all those feelings. It was then the idea for the Animal Chapel was born.
The Animal Chapel was created to be a living, traveling sanctuary. A sacred space that moves out into the world. Whether it rests in a park, an animal shelter, a veterinary clinic or a community gathering place, the chapel carries the love and intentions entrusted to it.
Whether you place a note inside the traveling Animal Chapel when it visits your community or submit a blessing online to appear on our Blessing Wall, your words are carried with care. Each week, the chapel holds the intentions and blessings of both local visitors and friends from afar, so no one is ever left out. Together these blessings form a living tapestry of love, joy, grief, celebration and hope for animals everywhere. And this is only the beginning, every submission will one day be gathered into a larger collective project, ensuring your love becomes part of something lasting and greater than all of us.
