At that time, few schools could boast a facility intended to be a religious gathering place for all people. Students regularly testify that what they value most about the University of Rochester is its diversity. With our multifaith outreach, we at the chapel are a key contributor to that diversity. The chapel is a center of hospitality. Here we welcome those who strongly identify with their relig

ious tradition, those who are “spiritual but not religious,” and those who want no affiliation at all. It is a place where students can connect, find community, join together in fun and service, learn about the faith of others, deepen their own faith, discuss the “Big Questions,” and explore their own values and identity. The chapel is a place that hums with activity and vitality. In addition to the large, street-level sanctuary, on two more floors we have three kitchens, a common room, a conference room, and a spacious river-level room for social gatherings, receptions, meals, and meetings. For those looking for a quiet, centering space, we have a small meditation room. The spacious building is equipped to meet the many different needs of individuals and groups.
