About Gonville And Caius College Chapel
This page has up-to-date information on services and events that are happening in the Chapel of Gonville and Caius College Cambridge.
Gonville And Caius College Chapel Description
The Chapel was built for the worship of God, in a time when Christianity was the norm in the city and university. This religious tradition remains part of the College’s historical identity. In today’s multi-faith, multi-cultural society, all members of the College, whatever their religious beliefs, are welcome to use the Chapel for quiet and reflection, or to attend Chapel services and events.
No-one should feel excluded. It is not necessary to be a committed member of any branch of Christianity, or any other religion, to attend Chapel—and enjoy the music or the silence—with integrity. It is always open during the daytime and evening.
Students at the College assist in the day-to-day running of the Chapel as clerks and can be contacted for more information. The Senior Chapel Clerk is Ruxandra Rogojinaru. The Junior Chapel Clerk is Cyryl Gierynski. The Additional Chapel Clerks are Alastair Ward-Booth, Henry Mitson and Matt Coote.

ASCENSION DAY CORPORATE COMMUNION Thursday 10 May
You are warmly invited to this term’s Corporate Communion, on 10 May, Acension Day, at 6.30 pm. The service is followed by free dinner in the Fellows Dining Room, for which you have to sign up on mealbookings.
... Corporate Communion (a.k.a. Corpers) is a great social event and College tradition – the Chapel is full of people (occasional and regular chapelgoers) and the food after the service is as wonderful as the music during it. Both the Service and the supper in the Fellows' Dining Room (by kind permission of the President and Fellows) are open to everyone regardless of denomination.
