The Chapel's candlelit All Hallows' Eve service takes place Thursday, October 31, at 10:30 p.m. Celebrated on the eve of All Saints' Day, this festival of the Church that recalls the faith and witness of those who have carried on and cherished the Christian faith throughout history. The service celebrates the Church's continuing communion with these men and women and memorializes the recently deceased.

Watch a video about the servce:

The early church followed the Jewish custom that a new day began at sundown; thus feasts and festivals of the Church were observed beginning on the night before. The night before All Saints' (or All Hallows') became known as All Hallows' Eve, or Halloween. Every fall, the Chapel celebrates All Hallows' Eve with the Choral Vespers Ensemble leading a candlelight worship service.

Free parking for the event is available in the Bryan Center Parking Lot at 125 Science Drive. ADA parking is available in the Bryan Center Surface Lot at the same address.
