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 Class of 1969 Courtyard Garden behind Murray-Dodge Hall, facing the Art Museum, where individuals can sit quietly and meditate, pray, or reflect.  All are encouraged to take time to calm the spirit and clear the mind in this place of peace within the fast-paced life at Princeton.

The beautiful Princeton University Chapel at Easter.  All of our Easter Services and Concerts are being recorded and will be available here.  They will remain archived after they are aired for viewing at any time.  We hope you can join us! 

The Princeton University Chapel is the religious and ceremonial center for Princeton University.    This beautiful and sacred place is an oasis in the middle of  campus and people of all faiths are welcome for prayer and meditation each day from 7am to 11pm during the academic year and 7am to 4pm during the summer.  Visit chapel.princeton.edu for more info.
