S. Stephen's Church

About this church

S. Stephen's Church in Providence, Rhode Island, is an Episcopal parish in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, located at 114 George Street near Brown University. Sunday services begin at 8 a.m. with Morning Prayer and a spoken Low Mass in the Lady Chapel, followed by a Solemn Mass at 10 a.m. with choir, organ, and incense. Coffee Hour follows the 10 a.m. Mass in the Great Hall. Services are held daily, including noonday and evening prayer with Mass on weekdays, a Saturday morning Mass, and Evensong and Benediction on certain Sunday afternoons, so the schedule on the website is worth checking.

The parish is known for its music, led by the Schola Cantorum, a professional-level choir that sings from a repertoire spanning a thousand years. Childcare is available at all Sunday Masses, with a nursery open from 7:50 to 11:15 a.m., and children in second grade and up can join Sunday school during the 10 a.m. Mass. Other offerings include a young adult fellowship dinner on Tuesday evenings, adult formation, an introductory newcomer session called S. Stephen's 101, and service at the Epiphany Soup Kitchen, which serves a hot meal in the Great Hall every Saturday.
