St. Bede Chapel, the Episcopal Church Center at the University of Miami, is a place where progressive Christianity and traditional worship meet. An outreach of The Episcopal Church, we are here to serve any and all students, regardless of your particular religious tradition (or lack thereof). The word "Episcopal" describes what we have to offer; it in no way is intended to limit whom we serve.

April 2, Services 8AM, 10AM, 6PM: We remember Jesus' triumphal entry in Jerusalem and read the Passion Gospel according to Luke.
April 6, 7PM: We commemorate Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples, which was also the first Eucharist (communion). We will celebrate communion, eat many of the foods Jesus and his disciples would have eaten, and conclude with a commemoration of Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane.
April 7, Noon & 7PM: Good Friday is the most solemn day of the year. We read the Gospel Passion according to John in the context of a liturgy distinctive to this day. We'll also have the Stations of the Cross one-half hour before each of the two main services.
Saturday, April 8, 8:30 PM: This is the most ancient way of celebrating Easter. We begin in total darkness (representing the darkness of the tomb), we light the Paschal fire and the Paschal candle, by candlelight we review salvation history through a series of nine readings from Scripture, and we end by celebrating the Eucharist in Easter joy as we proclaim the resurrection.
Sunday, April 9, 10AM A joyous Eucharist as we proclaim the resurrection. N.B.: This is the only service on Easter Day. The two Easter liturgies are Saturday night at 8:30 and Sunday morning at 10:00. There is no evening student Eucharist on this day as students will have Easter dinner at the Chaplain's home.
