The Best Honor your loved ones in Nashville, Indiana

Welcome to the Saint Anne Shell Chapel, a unique and serene place of worship located in Sandford, Indiana. Nestled within the historic grounds of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, our chapel offers a peaceful retreat for reflection and spiritual inspiration. Managed by the Sisters of Providence, a community of dedicated Catholic women religious, the chapel embodies their commitment to prayer, education, and service. The Saint Anne Shell Chapel is a testament to faith and resilience, built to honor St. Anne following a miraculous sea voyage in 1843. The chapel's walls are adorned with intricate shell mosaics, lovingly crafted by Sister Mary Joseph Le Fer de la Motte. These shells, collected from the nearby Wabash River, create a stunning and sacred space that invites visitors to pause and reflect.
