The Chapel of the Good Shepherd is a contributing property in the Chautauqua Institution Historic District.

Current use

The chapel is open primarily during the summer months when the Chautauqua Institution holds its annual session. During that time the Holy Eucharist is celebrated Sunday mornings at 7:45 and 9:00 so as not to conflict with the 10:45 ecumenical service of worship in the amphitheater. At 9:15 on Sunday nights there is a service of Compline in the chapel. Other services are scheduled throughout the week.

The chapel is used during the summer season by the Chautauqua Roman Catholic Community for daily Mass.[2]
