Saint Mary's was founded in 1868 with two great purposes... It was to be the parish church for the neighborhood - then called Longacre Square, here in midtown Manhattan; and the parish was founded to be a witness to catholic Christian tradition within the Episcopal Church. We remain committed to catholic Christian witness as we seek to embody and extend the love God has shown for us in Jesus Christ. Our members and friends now live both near and far from Times Square. Please join us.
Volume XII, Number 40, August 29, 2010FROM DEACON REBECCA WEINER TOMPKINS: PREPARING THE ENVIRONMENT
Anyone who's been
around Saint Mary’s will have witnessed the Rector’s enthusiasm for the
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS), the educational method for the spiritual
formation of children developed by Sofia Cavalletti. Saint Marians have recently been informed
about our own CGS atrium, which will soon
be open for children who are between the ages of three and six in what was
formerly office space above St. Joseph’s Hall.I use the words “our own” with special emphasis, since the words pertain
to CGS becoming part of our identity as a parish.
