[1] The chapel is operated on a partnership basis by the Helsinki Parish Union and the Social Services Department of the City of Helsinki, while the parish unions of the neighbouring cities of Espoo and Vantaa also participate in the chapel's activities.

The chapel is ecumenical and welcomes everyone irrespective of religion, philosophy of life or background.

[1] The chapel's overall design (both on the interior and exterior) is very austere and simplistic, as well as mostly neutral, bearing some semblance to a multi-faith prayer room.

The representatives of both the parishes and the Social Services Department are available in the chapel for personal discussions.
