About Heinz Memorial Chapel

Heinz Memorial Chapel is a non-sectarian chapel on the University of Pittsburgh campus, a gift to the university from H.J. Heinz and his children. The Chapel offers a variety of tours, concerts and programming with visitor hours throughout the week and wedding reservations on the weekends. Several weekly religious services are offered during the spring and fall semesters. Use the links above to plan your visit.

Heinz Memorial Chapel is undergoing external renovations to its spire.
This restoration is essential for the long-term preservation of this historic, treasured structure.
