The altar at St. Mary's prepared for the Eucharist

About

Worship & Services

Rich tradition, sacred music, and the participation of our diverse community — centered in the Eucharist and the Book of Common Prayer.

We have two Sunday services. Rite I at 8:00 am is quiet and reflective. Rite II at 10:30 am is enriched by choral, piano, and organ music led by our Music Director, Bob Gunn. From greeters to ushers and members of the choir, we embody the genuine spirit of inclusion. Lay participation offers the opportunity for young and old to learn more about various liturgies and the traditions we value in Christ's name, and we encourage Lay Eucharistic Ministers and lay readers at every service.

On special occasions — Christmas, Palm Sunday, Easter, and Pentecost — we see even greater participation of parishioners. On St. Francis Day we gather in the upper garden for an outdoor Blessing of the Animals. Our worship is not restricted to Sundays: small groups meet in the sanctuary and the Guild Hall during the week for prayer and healing.
