BOSTON — The holiday season is kicking off, and for many, that means navigating busy airports. Amidst all the chaos, airport chapels have become invaluable havens of tranquility for travelers and workers alike. One notable chapel is 'Our Lady of the Airways' at Boston Logan International Airport, which has been serving the spiritual needs of airport employees since the 1950s.
Rev. Brian Daley, a priest at the chapel, expresses the hope that comes from ministering to these weary flyers and workers. Many attendees share that they find solace in the quiet space, taking a moment to pray or reflect before their journeys.
Over the years, airport chapels have evolved from dedicated spaces for specific faiths into more inclusive interfaith meditation rooms reflecting the diverse needs of today's travelers. This transition highlights the importance of these sacred spaces in an increasingly secular world. Whether flying or working at the airport, many find comfort in the simple act of pausing and connecting to their faith amidst the whirlwind of holiday travel.
