About our Worship
Our Sunday and Weekday services are offered according to the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church, and rooted in the traditions of the Church going back to the earliest centuries of its history. Our worship is offered to praise and serve God through prayer, song, movement, sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. To those from other churches, our worship will be clearly understood as grounded in the catholic tradition.
Morning Prayer is a brief and simple offering of psalms, readings from the Bible, and prayers for the life of the world around us. We give thanks to God for the coming of each new day. This service begins with devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Mass, also called the Holy Eucharist, Holy Communion, the Divine Liturgy, or the Lord's Supper by various churches, is our central act of worship, especially on Sundays. It includes readings from the Bible, a sermon, prayers for the life of the Church and the world, and Holy Communion, a sacrificial meal of bread and wine, which we believe become Christ's Body and Blood by the power of the Holy Spirit. In the Mass, we give thanks for all of God's blessings in our lives, but chiefly for the saving death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Taizé Service is a monthly time of prayer, meditation, and song, grounded in the music first developed by the Taizé Community in France. It features brief readings from scripture, spiritual reflections, silence, and simple refrains sung together. Music is led by guitar, violins, flutes, recorders, and other instruments. This contemporary worship offering is a beautiful and peaceful experience.
Holy Day Masses are offered throughout the year to observe important feast days commemorating events in the life of Jesus Christ, and to remember the saints. Particular attention is paid to feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and to the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus at Holy Week.

- Low Mass is a simple and meditative offering of the Mass, and on Sunday mornings includes two hymns sung by the congregation. On weekdays, the saints are commemorated day by day on their feast days.
- Solemn Mass (also called High Mass) is a more elaborate form, including several ministers serving together at the altar, plenty of congregational singing, organ and choir music, chanted prayers and readings, the ringing of bells at the altar and in the bell tower, and the offering of incense at several points.
- Family Mass is a service offered for young children and their families, with easy, simple songs, and Communion with the people gathered in a circle around the altar.
