College Chapel

St. Paul’s Cathedral Mission College, Kolkata, built in 1865, is presently under the the Diocese of Calcutta, the Church of North India. The College chapel was built in 1912 and ever since has been an important part of the life of the college. Every staff in the college has access to the chapel.
