We welcome you to St. James Parish, the Episcopal Church in Preston, Connecticut.
|
Our Sunday services are in person and virtual, and they 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 Lenten 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. You are welcome to join us in person or virtually!
