Our History

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, established in 1888 and first opened in 1891, began as a summer chapel with clergy visiting from Boston. The church, built in Early Rural English style in memory of Mary Kearney Cobb, was consecrated in 1893. It became a year-round parish in 1928, growing into a vibrant campus with expanded facilities and beautifully crafted features, including hand-carved doors by Quentin R. Munson. St. Mary’s history is enriched by devoted clergy and parishioners, whose vision and generosity have shaped its spiritual and physical legacy.

Vision
