Chapel & Chaplaincy

Dedicated in 1704 (and replacing a smaller 16th century building) the Chapel exists for all members of the College and their guests as a place of worship and prayer. Whatever your denomination or faith, or if you have no particular religious convictions but simply wish to find an indoor space for peaceful reflection and thinking, you are welcome to use the Chapel which is open throughout the day.

As a house of prayer and a prominent witness to the Gospel of Christ, the Chapel is in frequent use with regular recitation of the Offices, the celebration of Holy Communion and more informal, contemporary and reflective acts of worship. There are opportunities for students to be involved in worship-leading, reading, offering intercessions, stewarding, hospitality and outreach.

St Catharine's boasts a fine musical tradition and the rites of the Church of England are enriched by the excellent contribution of our Choir and Organ Scholars. September 2008 saw the foundation of our junior Girls' Choir, and the introduction of the specially devised and popular evening service of light, 'Luminaria'.

The Chapel's three-manual organ, recently refurbished by Flentrop Orgelbouw, is one of the finest instruments in Cambridge today. The Chapel is a popular venue for recitals and other performances.
