Church of the Good Shepherd

About this church

The Church of the Good Shepherd (Iglesia de El Buen Pastor) in Hartford, Connecticut, is an Episcopal parish at 155 Wyllys Street that worships in both English and Spanish. The English service is Sundays at 10 a.m. and the Spanish service is at 12:15 p.m. Both Sunday liturgies follow the Book of Common Prayer and include Scripture readings, a sermon, prayers and Holy Communion. The 10 a.m. service is supported by organ, piano, violin and occasional vocalists, drawing on hymns, gospel songs and spirituals. A few times a year the two congregations join for a bilingual service at 11 a.m., and the calendar page lists the next one.

The site describes the congregation as multicultural and multigenerational, and notes that children and families are welcome and that changing tables are available. Music rehearsals for the English service take place on Wednesday evenings in the Parish House from September through May. Other sections of the website cover pastoral care, church tours of the historic building and its connection to the Colt family and Coltsville, a community garden, a foodshare program, neighborhood activities and facility use. The parish office is open Tuesday through Friday, and the website is available in English and Spanish. Confirm service times on the calendar before visiting.
