St. Mary's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church gives Portsmouth worshipers two contrasting weekend options, both centered on Holy Communion and a sermon. Saturday’s 5:00 p.m. service is simple, contemplative, and without music; Sunday’s 10:00 a.m. service adds music and a livelier congregational setting. That choice makes the parish approachable for someone seeking either a quiet liturgy or a fuller Sunday gathering while remaining grounded in the Episcopal sacramental tradition.

The parish describes its mission as building a Christian community of all ages and connecting worship with service beyond its walls. Families will find children intentionally included in church life, along with designated parking spaces near both the front and rear entrances for adults arriving with young children. Formation opportunities have included Bible studies, book groups, family dinners, and practical conversations for parents. Before visiting, check the church calendar because seasonal programs and individual weekend listings can change.
