About Our Chapel Space

Penacook Place’s chapel opened in April 2021. The ground floor space was transformed into a beautiful, sacred space for residents, their loved ones, staff and the community, for reflection and religious services. The chapel is adorned with Stations of the Cross, kindly donated by Teresa Drelick. The Chapel  can easily accommodate individuals aided by walkers and wheelchairs and has a folding glass partition to accommodate small and large occasions.
