About this church

St. Mary's Episcopal Church in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C., holds a service of Holy Eucharist every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. at 728 23rd Street NW. The parish has served the neighborhood for more than 150 years, and its historic sanctuary includes a Tiffany window installed around 1900. Weekly worship bulletins are posted on the website so visitors can follow the service in advance, and the parish describes itself as rooted in tradition and committed to action.

Music is a significant part of parish life, led by an organist and choirmaster and supported by a music fund. A Sunday School for youth meets in the Guild Room, with some sessions held on the first Sunday of the month. Other groups include the Episcopal Church Women, an Altar Guild, lectors, and a licensed lay ministers program for parishioners interested in pastoral leadership and helping with Communion. The parish also administers a scholarship program, holds an annual Homecoming service each October, and offers ways to give online. The parish office is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon and can be reached at 202.333.3985 or by email. Confirm service details on the website before a first visit.
