Summerall Chapel has held a special place in the life of the Corps of Cadets since its dedication in 1936 and first service in September of 1937. After General Summerall’s retirement as president of the Citadel in June of 1953, the name was officially changed to the General Pelot Summerall Chapel.
Our goal is to keep our historic Summerall Chapel a vibrant part of our Citadel community for generations to come. To do so, there are several crucial restoration projects necessary to repair, restore, and revitalize our Chapel.
These projects include:
- Chaplain’s Endowment to fund Chaplain Staff
- AV System Upgrade
- Stained Glass Window Restoration
- Installation of ADA Accessible Bathrooms and Office Renovation
- Refurbishment for a Cadet Hospitality Area
- Granite Restoration and Replacement
- And so much more
These projects and the mission of Summerall Chapel rely on Citadel Alumni and community members offering meaningful support and donations. To support these and other projects, please make a secure donation through The Citadel Foundation.
