Religious Life

Welcome to the Office of Religious Life!  Built in 1879, Murray-Dodge Hall houses the deans and staff of the  Office of Religious Life as well as a number of  campus ministries, including the Hindu Life and Muslim Life offices. It also provides space for a wide variety of worship services, student meetings, study, and informal gatherings.  

Located on the third floor of Murray-Dodge Hall are two Murray-Dodge Prayer Rooms.  Muslim students gather for daily prayers in the Muslim Prayer Room, Murray-Dodge 308.  Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, and others seeking a silent meditation space use the Meditation Room, Murray-Dodge 301, which is equipped with meditation mats and reading materials from many faith traditions.   

The tranquil Murray-Dodge courtyard and just beyond, facing the University Art Museum, is the entrance to our Murray-Dodge Café!  This underground space is an informal meeting space that offers fresh-baked, homemade cookies and a variety of teas free of charge.  Our dedicated and experienced student staff helps to make this a great place to take a study break, meet some new friends or reconnect with old ones!  All Princeton University students are most welcome!  Open daily during the academic year from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. 

The magnificent Princeton University Chapel has summoned countless people to come inside to find faith, peace, inspiration, challenge, and courage.  Please visit the chapel website (chapel.princeton.edu) to see upcoming worship services and concerts in the university chapel.
