Since our founding in 1914 St. Mary's has been a parish of the Episcopal Church which worships in the Anglo-Catholic or "high church" tradition. While our weekday and 8:00 am Sunday services of Holy Communion (the Mass) tend to be quiet and reflective, our 10:00 am Sunday Mass and Holy Day services are rich in ceremonial, music and ancient traditions. We use incense and bells, and most of the service is chanted by the clergy, choir and congregation. At times the service may also include devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary. At St. Mary's all baptized persons, regardless of age, are invited to receive communion.
