St. Mary's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Mary's Episcopal Church holds a traditional liturgical service at 10 a.m. Sunday at 1734 Grant Street in Blair, followed by coffee hour. During the school year, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd runs from 9:45 to 11:15 for children ages three through fourteen. The Montessori-based program uses an atrium rather than a conventional classroom, with handmade materials and Bible and liturgy themes that allow children of different ages to work at their own pace while Sunday worship is underway.

The parish belongs to the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska and the worldwide Anglican Communion. All baptized Christians, not only Episcopalians, may receive Holy Communion. Alongside its regular liturgy, St. Mary's periodically creates musical Eucharists using genres or artists such as bluegrass, jazz, the Beatles, U2, Johnny Cash, Coldplay, or Stevie Wonder while retaining the traditional Communion structure. Children and adults can serve in worship; acolyte participation begins in fourth grade. Community outreach helped establish Joseph's Coat thrift store and expand the Washington County Food Pantry, which the church reports can serve up to 650 people and about 14,000 meals per month. The congregation adopts the pantry each May, collecting food and toiletries during worship.
