The Memorial Church is Harvard’s University Church, dedicated on Armistice Day in 1932 as a gift of the alumni to the University in memory of those who lost their lives in the First World War.

Founded as a Protestant non-denominational house of worship, The Memorial Church maintains a broad ecumenical program of worship, preaching, and teaching, a representation of Harvard’s recognition of the spiritual dimension of the life of the mind and a community of inquiry. All members of the University, regardless of denomination, are welcome, and internationally known clergy and religious leaders regularly preach from the pulpit. The church also serves as a resource for all religious life on campus, hosting events in the Faith & Life Forum, the annual William Belden Noble lectures, and providing pastoral counseling services to all members of the University.

Services:

A Christian service of Morning Prayers is held at 8:45 am Monday through Saturday during Term, with the principal worship service held at eleven o’clock on Sunday mornings. Once a month, a service of Compline is held on a Thursday evening at ten o’clock. Based on the traditional evening liturgy of scripture, music, prayers, and silence, Compline is sung in the candlelit space of Appleton Chapel by members of the University Choir. The Sunday and daily service schedules are announced in the Gazette. In addition, a printed guide listing all services and activities is available each academic term and may be obtained by contacting the Church Office.

The Harvard University Choir: www.hcs.harvard.edu/~uchoir

The Harvard University Choir is regarded by many worldwide as the premier program in college chapel music in America, a demanding but rewarding musical experience for Harvard students. The Choir sings at all Sunday Services and presents a Spring Concert once a year.

The United Ministry at Harvard, the University’s interfaith consortium of chaplains, offers programs, worship events, and provides confidential counsel to students in the Harvard community. Whether your concern is an issue of spirituality, an ethical question or a personal crisis, the United Ministry is available to you and is eager to be of help during your sojourn at Harvard.

While each of the various chaplaincies sponsors its own programming throughout the University community, there are a variety of cooperative interfaith opportunities as well. Chaplains in the United Ministry agree to honor the religious freedom, human dignity, conscience, personal spiritual welfare, and the religious tradition of every person to whom they minister. The College encourages you to explore the religious tradition(s) of your choice while you are here. The chaplaincies of the United Ministry provide opportunities for worship and other programs in and near the University, and invite all students to be in touch with them and to consult their listings for services. Please refer to our website, www.ministry.harvard.edu, for a full description of groups, programs and worship services.
