Smaller and more intimate than most college chapels, Magdalene Chapel is a haven of peace at the heart of the community. Built in the 1470s, it embodies Magdalene's rich heritage - our patron saint's life is depicted in the East Window, while memorials commemorate missionaries, church leaders, teachers, and those who gave their lives in conflict.
This historic building is also a living place which brings people together in worship, reflection, and prayer for the community. All members of the college community, whatever their religious beliefs, are welcome to all services. The Chapel is also open each day for those who wish to pray, reflect, or just seek some quiet in this beautiful and peaceful place.
There are a variety of opportunities to assist with worship (by reading lessons, leading prayers, or serving as a chapel officer) and to explore matters of faith and belief - see the Term Card or contact the Chaplain
The Chaplain, The Rev'd Philip Hobday, is available for all members and staff of the college, regardless of religious belief, to come see on any matter - or just for a cup of tea! His room is A6 First Court, telephone (01223) (3)32129, email.
The Honorary Assistant Chaplain, Bishop Simon Barrington-Ward, has a room in First Court, Chapel Staircase 1.
The Sacristan, Michael Hetherington.
The Chapel Wardens, Rosie Tegelaars, Louise Chui, Sara Harris.
The Director of College Music, Mr Jonathan Hellyer Jones, would be pleased to hear from anyone who might be interested in singing in the College Choir. The Organ Scholars are Benedict Wilson and George Pickard.
