About this church

Saint John's Episcopal Church is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts at 27 Devens Street in Charlestown, a residential neighborhood of Boston. Sunday worship is a Holy Eucharist at 10 a.m., held in the church and also online. Founded in 1840, the parish worships in an early Gothic Revival granite building and describes itself as multi-generational, with members ranging from infants to people in their nineties. Dress is comfortable and casual, and on-street parking around the church is open on Sundays, although it is limited.

A staffed nursery for infants and toddlers six months and older is open year round. During the school year, Godly Play for ages 3 to 10 gathers at 9:45 a.m., older students meet in a Living the Good News class, and a high-school youth group meets monthly. A Junior Choir welcomes children six and older. The church also hosts a Clothes Closet run by Charlestown Community Cares, with donation hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a free shopping day once a month, and it maintains a garden. A weekly email newsletter goes out on Thursdays. The office is open Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be reached at (617) 242-1272; confirm times on the website.
