About Chapel + Cultural Center
The Rensselaer Newman Foundation, located at the Chapel + Cultural Center in Troy, New York, serves as a welcoming Catholic community for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Founded in 1959, the parish of Christ Sun of Justice provides spiritual and service opportunities rooted in Catholic tradition while embracing ecumenical and interfaith collaboration. The Chapel + Cultural Center itself, erected in 1969 and recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, uniquely integrates sacred worship with performing and visual arts, hosting both religious services and cultural events. Under the leadership of Chaplain Fr. Jordan Lenaghan, the community offers liturgical ministries, student organizations including the Newman Catholic Fellowship and Knights of Columbus, and opportunities for service and volunteerism. Whether visitors come for Sunday Mass, musical performances, gallery exhibits, or to explore the community's integration of faith, arts, and culture, they are invited into a vibrant, inclusive environment.
