Cincinnati's award-winning Children's Hospital Medical Center serves the whole child. In addition to providing outstanding family-centered medical care, CHMC takes seriously the connection between physical and spiritual wellness. In 2002 Chaplain William Scrivener, Senior Director of Pastoral Care at Children's and Matthew Schottlekotte from Cincinnati's GBBN Architects collaborated with the firm of Schickel Design, well known for its outstanding work in creating transcendent Sacred Space and with a particular strength in creating multi-faith chapels. The result was Chapel of the Holy Child, a beautiful space with an underlying sense of unity, peace and harmony, where patients, staff and their families can go in times of sorrow or joy to rest, pray and recharge and where groups of any faith can gather to worship together.

Chapel of the Holy Child bridges the history of Cincinnati Children's by incorporating a number of beautiful pieces from the original chapel built in 1925. It bridges the history of Schickel Design Company because it features some of the last pieces created by William Schickel the founder of Schickel Design in five large German mouth-blown stained glass windows depicting the elements of creation from the point of view of the child as well as major works by his successor in the firm Martha Schickel Dorff. When completed, the project was honored with an AIA design award.

Join Martha Schickel Dorff and Chaplain Scrivener for an informal discussion and tour of The Chapel. Please email or call 513-721-4000 to RSVP.
