Pittsburgh lays claim to several incredibly unique chapels. St. Anthony’s Chapel, for example, houses 5,000 original Christian relics, second only to the Vatican itself. And, Heinz Memorial Chapel, a community favorite for decades, promises tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle of every day life.
Nestled in the busy Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Heinz Memorial Chapel has served the Pittsburgh community since 1938.
Gifted to the University of Pittsburgh from the Heinz Family, the chapel draws Pittsburghers and visitors from around the world, who enjoy spectacular views of the Cathedral of Learning from the chapel's front lawn.
The chapel itself hosts more than 1,000 events every year, including weddings, nondenominational religious services, memorial services, and even classes.
