We welcome you to St. James Parish, the Episcopal Church in Preston, Connecticut.  ​

Our Sunday services are centered on the celebration of Holy Eucharist. An organist and musicians from the community bring to life traditional Anglican music. Our members live locally, in surrounding towns, and beyond. The importance of breaking bread together as a community is most evident in our Fish and Chips dinners, but also in monthly gatherings. We are an open and affirming congregation that is dedicated to following Jesus by being a light and source of grace and healing. Join us!

Community Meal

Join other parishioners in supporting mission in our community. St. James and Grace Church are working together to fight food Insecurity in the Greater Norwich Area. Every Sunday, a faith community in the region provides a “to-go” meal to ensure no one goes without when the soup kitchen at St. Vincent DePaul Place is closed. 
​
All those interested in sandwich making for the event should call Dawn (860-889-0150) at the office or email her at office@stjamespreston.org to sign up. Details will be provided once you have committed. Thank you and God Bless.
