 ​St. Mark’s Chapel is located on the campus of the University of Connecticut in the Town of Mansfield in the northeastern part of Connecticut, often called the “the quiet corner”. In 1952 the first vicar was appointed by the Bishop of Connecticut and in 1955 the Chapel itself was constructed on land deeded by the University. Our humble beginnings can be traced back to the Canterbury Club, a nationwide Episcopal Church campus ministry organization.  It was this group who made St. Mark's a reality.  Our roots begin with campus ministry and we continue to serve the students of UConn today.

The Chapel architects, John W. Huntington and Henry Darbee, won an Honorable Mention for its design from the Church Architectural Guild of America.  On sunny days prisms mounted on the trusses send rainbows playing across the white walls and onto the altar. The Chapel has been expanded three times since initial construction to add classrooms, offices, and gathering spaces. The structure stands on one and half acres of land on North Eagleville Road, a main thoroughfare of the University. Also known as Faith Row, this area of campus is home to Storrs Congregational Church, the Korean Methodist Church, the Islamic Center, St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic Church, and Hillel.

 At the elevated rear of the Chapel stands one of the finest small organs in New England.  This tracker organ, Opus 21, was constructed by master organ builder John Brombaugh and was financed entirely through pledges from the congregation in the late 1970’s.  The organ is regularly used for recitals and special performances by graduate music students at the University as well as by faculty and visiting performers.
