Once it is safe to do so, the Chapel will reopen to the public at a limited capacity. Entry to the Chapel will be managed by free, timed-tickets. More information on timed-tickets will be announced shortly.

for staff & volunteers

All staff members and volunteers are undergoing training to implement and manage our health and safety guidelines and practices. Staff and volunteers will be required to wear personal protective equipment including gloves and masks, provided by the Chapel for their safety and yours.

Staff and volunteers are here to help make sure the Chapel experience is safe for you and for others, please respect any instruction provided to you by our team.

In conjunction with the Houston Museum District, the Chapel will refrain from hosting in-person public programs, tours, gatherings, and private events until it is safe to do so.
