Liturgy reminds us of the continuity in action of followers in doing “this in remembrance” of the life and teachings of Jesus. Ritual serves as a threshold to spiritual understanding otherwise difficult to articulate.

Liturgy &

Worship


Of the many reasons parishioners give for attending Saint Andrew’s, one of the most often mentioned is love for our high church liturgy. As a contemporary Anglo-Catholic parish whose worship is shaped and guided by the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, we do indeed prefer our services “high”: music-filled and enriched by the use of Eucharistic vestments, incense, intoning, and bells. In this way, all our senses are engaged, involving our whole being in prayer.

At the heart of our worship are the two central sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Baptism.

We observe many of the major feast days throughout the year and celebrate the Eucharist Monday through Thursdays in the Mary Chapel at 12:15pm. Our Tuesday Eucharist offers the Anointing of the Sick. We offer a Mass of Requiem on the first Wednesday of the month.

With the exception of the early Sunday service, which is according to Rite I, all of our services are celebrated in accordance with Rite II.
