Saint Monica and Saint James Episcopal Church

About this church

Saint Monica and Saint James is an Anglo-Catholic Episcopal parish on Capitol Hill whose worship-centered faith is joined to compassion and social justice. Its diverse congregation includes people of many ages, races, locations, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Book of Common Prayer liturgy, weekly Eucharist, incense, bells, choir, organ, fellowship, and an open invitation to Communion shape parish life.

The current homepage and worship page list Sunday Said Mass at 8:30 a.m. and Sung Mass at 11:00; the visitor page still says 8:00, so early-service guests should confirm. Tuesday Said Mass begins at 6:30 p.m., and Thursday Evening Prayer at 6:30. Coffee and conversation follow both Sunday services, snacks follow 11:00, and a potluck occurs after Sung Mass on the second Sunday monthly. There is no dress code. Children are welcome throughout Mass; coloring materials, a Parish Hall children’s area, and a parent corner by the organ are available. An elevator, ADA-updated restrooms, and full-text bulletins aid access, while consistent ASL interpretation is still in development. Street parking is limited, but several bus routes and Metro stations are within walking distance. Public pages do not promise nursery care, child check-in, screening, or livestreaming.
