Heinz Chapel In Pittsburgh Is Located In The Most Unique Setting

Pittsburgh lays claim to several incredibly unique chapels. St. Anthony’s Chapel, for example, houses 5,000 original Christian relics, second only to the Vatican itself. And, Heinz Memorial Chapel, a community favorite for decades, promises tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle of every day life.

Nestled in the busy Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Heinz Memorial Chapel has served the Pittsburgh community since 1938.
