This chapel, a landmark on the University of Pittsburgh's campus, was erected as a memorial of the Heinz family. The Heinz family, one of the major producers of ketchup and condiments in the United States, lived and started their now world-renowned business in Pittsburgh. The family still funds many scholarships and services at the university. The chapel is non-denominational and holds a variety of services, weddings, and concerts. See the website for details on special events.

St. Anthony's Chapel was built as a shrine to St. Anthony of Padua in the 1880s. Father Suitbert Mollinger, a wealthy Belgian priest, provided the funding for the project; unfortunately, he died shortly after the shrine was completed. Renowned for housing approximately 5000 artifacts, St. Anthony's Chapel may be the home of the largest collection of religious relics other than the Vatican. Tours are conducted at 1 PM, 2 PM and 3 PM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
