For over 100 years, students, staff and alumni of Trinity College and Janet Clarke Hall have come together to worship in the Chapel with members of the wider community.
The Chapel
Consecrated in 1917, the Chapel is an Anglican Church that sits within the grounds of Trinity College and the University of Melbourne. People of all denominations and faiths are welcome to visit and worship at our College Chapel.
Chapel services reflect the rich Anglican heritage of Trinity College, but it is not necessary to be an Anglican or a regular worshipper to join in Chapel worship and other activities.
Staff and students from the University and the wider community join students and staff in Sunday and weekday worship. The College Chaplains, eminent visiting preachers, and members of both the Trinity and Janet Clarke Hall communities all preach at various services throughout the year. All students and staff are also welcome to join in activities around the Chapel including bible studies and discussion groups. The Chapel is also available for life event ceremonies, including weddings and funerals.
The Chaplain of Trinity College offers meaningful and engaged pastoral support to staff, students and alumni, including supporting worship in the Chapel.
