Beautiful church located on the Stanford campus. Any visit to Stanford should include a visit. Loved the serenity of it all!

I've been here a few times during a visit to the Stanford campus. When on the campus, this is a must see. I love the mosaic on the front the of chapel. The stained glass windows are also nice.

Check out the organ in this church, amazing! This is a beautiful church. The stained glass windows and the architecture are terrific.

Great for a short visit or even to walk by. Its the centerpiece of the iconic view of Stanford University which you approach via a long Palm tree lined avenue, which leads onto a large grassy oval the size of one one and a half football fields, which then lead through a tall adobe and red tile style arch, into a cloistered courtyard and then into a huge red brick plaza surrounded by low mission style adobe buildings. In front of you the Memorial Church keeps looming larger and larger until you are right in front of the huge gold mosaic murals that cover the front of the building above the arched doorways. Inside is much of the same type of mosaic, along with warm wood, stained glass and a soaring cathedral like space-Catholic in style but non-denominational in its worship service. You can walk to it up Palm Drive from the University CalTrain station but although it looks close, its actually about a mile away. If you visit Stanford you have to see it, and if you can approach it from the end of Palm Drive so much the better!

This large, beautiful chapel is reminiscent of some churches I've seen in Italy. The building of it was guided by Jane Stanford, Leland's wife, and is worth seeing if you are ever in the area. However, if you can hear music performed there, it is a pure joy. The acoustics are phenomenal. My wife performed there with a women's compline group, Voces Angelorum, and their few voices filled the church, a choir of angels. It was an awesome, spiritual experience. Check the church's schedule for such events.

My husband is a choral conductor and has the opportunity to direct choirs in the Standford Memorial Church several times. It is a stellar church. Beautiful with amazing acoustics. We also attended a wedding in the church and it was beautiful! Worth visiting!

We have visited Memorial Church numerous times. It was built by Jane Stanford between 1890 and 1933 in memory of her late husband Leland Stanford. The two of them were the founders of Stanford University. Leland Stanford was quite instrumental in the railroad, business, and government of the West.Memorial Church is a beautiful church with an amazing organ, It is a very active campus religious center which is welcoming to all students and faculty, as well as the greater public.We have attended special events there such as the Messiah Sing A Long in December, organ recitals, and have also attended at times their regular religious services. During Stanford Graduation, a special service is also held at Memorial Church regarding that joyous occasion.The staff there is stellar. For more information on what is currently going on at Memorial Church, we check their web site.

Thank you Stanford family for building this American version of a classical Florentine chapel and making it the center of the campus. Day or night, for church, music, or just walking around, the interior and exterior are both elegant and fit in perfectly with the surrounding area.

This is an icon on the Stanford campus.This church has qualities of a European cathedral.It is a must see!! Mosaic tile frames the inside of the church. It is resplendent in 20th century splendor and decor.Check it out!
