Welcome message from Fr. Stephen

 

Welcome to the web site of St. Edward’s Episcopal Church

 

The congregation of St. Edward’s was founded in 1981 on the initiative of the Bishop and people of Diocese of Central

Pennsylvania and the Episcopal Churches in Lancaster County to meet the growing needs of the community on the North

West quadrant of the city of Lancaster. The patron saint of the congregation, chosen by the youth, is

St. Edward the Confessor, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, who re-founded Westminster Abby in the 11th century

and was known for his piety and charitable works. The name of the parish, therefore, reflects a commitment on the part

of the people of St. Edward’s to foster a multi-generational community that reaches out to serve others. Over the years

St. Edward’s has earned a reputation of being an inclusive, welcoming, friendly community of faith. For the first ten years,

the congregation met in a local Union Hall. Having purchased land alongside Harrisburg Pike, the congregation built the

current church, which was consecrated in 1991. In 2005 a new parish hall was built and dedicated to meet the demands

of a growing community of faithful Christians.

 

On this web site you will learn more of who we are and what we are, with details of our services, our ministries to the

wider community as well as to ourselves. If you are a visitor, or new to the area and seeking a church home, or someone

seeking to deepen your journey of faith: we look forward to welcoming you.

   

Yours in Christ

The Reverend Canon Stephen C. Casey

 

Rector
