Opportunities to welcome visitors always give us great pleasure, and we extend a special invitation to all new residents in our revitalized neighborhood and to students from area schools and universities.

Our parish

We are a parish in union with the Washington diocese of the Episcopal Church, which is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Our diverse, urban congregation comprises families and individuals—both young and old—from the immediate neighborhood and from the larger Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
