Lehi • Two new sacred additions were made to Holy Cross hospitals in Lehi and Layton.

Both CommonSpirit hospitals finished their chapels for visitors and patients to use as places of prayer and had these spaces dedicated this week.

A faith-based health care organization, CommonSpirit requires all of its hospitals to have an on-site dedicated chapel.

Bishop Oscar Solis , leader of Utah’s 300,000 Catholics, performed the dedicatory Mass for the chapels in Layton (on Monday) and in Lehi (on Wednesday).

In the Lehi ceremony in Lehi, Solis expressed the importance of providing a place of prayer and comfort to those who are sick. He blessed the space, a former hospital mail room, to be a “house of salvation and praise” to aid in the healing of patients.
