New Era - Chapel in the Woods

The chapel began in its journey in 1913 serving as an Episcopal Church on a quiet street in Gwinn, Michigan.

When construction was completed, cows roamed the town freely and a fence was built around the property to keep them out.

The name “Holy Innocents” was given to the church by one of its benefactors Mrs. Murray Morris Duncan.

In 1948, plans were underway for a summer Episcopalian Conference Center to be built on Little Lake. By 1950 the little chapel was moved by its early founders to a new home surrounded by nature on the Page Center campus.

Today, the Holy Innocents congregation continues to hold weekly services at the nearly 100 year old chapel.

The New Era of the Page Center guests use the site for weddings, concerts, drama, poetry and quiet mediation.
