Religious Services at Harvard

Harvard has a rich variety of opportunities for religious participation. During the academic year chapel services are held every weekday morning from 8:45 to 9:00 AM and on Sunday at 11:00 AM at the University's non-denominational Memorial Church (617-495-5508), located in Harvard Yard. The weekday service normally includes a short address by a member of the Harvard community. From time to time, religious leaders of various denominations from throughout the U.S. are invited to preach. Schedules for services, concerts, group meetings, and lectures are announced in the Harvard Gazette. In addition, the United Ministry at Harvard has an association of chaplains who work together in interfaith ministry for the Harvard community and who offer special programs of worship, discussion, and personal counseling to Harvard students, faculty, and staff of many faiths and traditions. They will also provide chaplains for weddings, baptisms, and memorial services. Further information about these programs may be obtained by contacting the United Ministry at 617-495 5529.
