Student events that take place at the Chapel include Chapel Formal, an event to raise funds to support an organization that provides meals for schoolchildren in Hartford facing food insecurity; Worship Night, an evening of singing, prayer, and community led by the Trinity College Gospel Choir, Faith Inspired Students at Trinity, and Faith Circle; Cranksgiving, a bike race in November during which contestants collect food for Grace Episcopal Food Pantry leading up to the holiday season; and special events such as community gatherings. The Chapel is also a preferred performance space of Trinity’s student a capella groups due to its magnificent acoustics.
In addition to Chapel services and events, College ceremonies are also hosted here each year including the First-Year Candle Lighting ceremony, Matriculation, Honors Day, Baccalaureate, and parts of Reunion.
