Hendricks Chapel at Syracuse University

Since its dedication in 1930, Hendricks Chapel has defined and embraced its role as the physical and metaphorical “heart” of Syracuse University. From its central presence on the Quad, the chapel speaks to core yearnings of meaning, purpose, dignity, and hope. As “a home for all faiths, and a place for all people”, the chapel serves as a distinctive and significant reminder that our collective future depends upon whether or not people that navigate religion differently can develop the aptitude to cooperate.

In order to prepare engaged citizens, scholars, and leaders for participation in a changing global society, each year over 100,000 people participate in the wide range of programs associated with Hendricks Chapel. From community engagement ventures, to musical performances and public lectures, to religious and spiritual communities, the chapel is a visible and vibrant setting for both gathering and sending.
