College Chapel
The Chapel exists as a centre for Christian life and worship in the College. Its prominent central position acts as a reminder of the religious dimension to life. All members of the College and their friends are very welcome at its services, and are invited to share in its activities.
The Dean, Jeremy Caddick, is available to see members of the College at any time. He is in College (C2 in Front Court, tel. (3)34264, e-mail dean@emma.cam.ac.uk) every day except Saturday. His home is in Camden House at the end of Park Terrace.
You can follow news of the Chapel and what goes on there via the Facebook group Emma Chapel.
