Saint Mary's Episcopal Church is a community of faith that believes in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, that worships together, learns about our faith together, and serves the community in Jesus' name.
The following Sunday Services are regularly scheduled:
In 1909, when Stone Harbor had a small summer population, and when the town was virtually deserted in the winter, a number of summer residents organized Sunday services conducted by various vacationing Episcopal clergy. During the following year, a realty firm donated a plot of land and the cedar-shingle frame structure was built. On July 2, 1911, the small church was dedicated and for many years was known as, "St. Mary's-by-the-Sea." Over the years St. Mary's grew into a parish and was incorporated in 1967. In 1990, when the original gold opaque windows were replaced with magnificent stained glass, the Rev. Robert Runcie, then Archbishop of Canterbury, made the dedication. On this festive occasion, the Archbishop also accepted honorary membership into St. Mary's Men's Club- and was presented with the official Men's Club hat. St. Mary's is a very welcoming community. A New Member Ministries Team extends the hospitality of the parish and incorporates new members into our community of faith. St. Mary's is an active community. Parishioners lead through elected membership to our Church Vestry. Members serve as Lector, Eucharistic Ministers, and Acolytes at our Parish Services. We share monthly covered dish suppers while enjoying fun and fellowship.
We also share community life through these groups:
