Spring Hours

Heinz Memorial Chapel will be open to visitors Sunday from 10am to 1pm, Monday through Thursday from 10am to 4 pm and Friday from 10am to 1pm. The Chapel may occasionally be closed during these hours for University holidays or private events.

Meditation Mondays

Join us every Monday for Meditation Mondays! There will be a free 15-20 minute guided meditation at 12:15pm. The Chapel will also offer quiet hours each Monday from 4:00 to 6:00pm.
