Calvary Episcopal Church

About this church

Calvary Episcopal Church in Lombard worships Sundays at 9 a.m. in the sanctuary, with a live Facebook broadcast and a later YouTube recording. The liturgy involves the congregation as readers, intercessors, acolytes, greeters, ushers, altar-guild members, and Communion assistants. Immediately after Communion, a prayer desk offers anointing and intercessory prayer for people facing illness or distress. Calvary's mission is to reflect Christ through love, inclusion, and service, and the congregation treats welcome, coffee-hour hospitality, and shared responsibility as parts of that calling. Coffee hour offers another place to connect.

The parish began on Epiphany Sunday in 1929 as the Church of the Epiphany, when roughly ten communicants and twenty Sunday School students met in a Lombard home. After worshiping at several Main Street locations, it settled at the current Maple Street site and gradually added a nave, sanctuary, parish hall, kitchen, and classrooms. Outreach includes support for Anglican missionaries in Chile, while pastoral-care ministries provide visits, counseling, home Communion, and handmade prayer blankets. Advance questions for the office include children's class ages, nursery provision, parking, building access, and how first-time Episcopalians approach Communion.
