Calling for Peace Cranes – A Chapel Initiative
The Burwood Hospital Chaplains are inviting anyone who can help by making peace cranes for use in our Chapel.
Considering the heart-breaking events unfolding around the world, we are creating a gentle, reflective space where people can simply sit, be still,
or offer prayers for peace.
Every day, we meet with staff worried for wh?nau and friends living in areas of conflict, and others whose loved ones are stranded due to flight cancellations. Like many of you, we are deeply distressed by what is happening.
Our Chapel is open to people of all faiths and to those of no faith.

It is a place where everyone is welcome.
If you are able to help by making and donating peace cranes, we would be truly grateful.
Thank you for supporting our community.
