Our diocese is celebrating 225 years as the Episcopal Church in eastern Massachusetts. Join us in our mission to be Christ’s inviting, forming, sending and serving presence in the world!
The Episcopal Church is home to 68,000 people in 185 congregations in cities and towns across eastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the islands. Our congregations make up our diocese, and our diocese is part of the wider Episcopal Church, which in turn is part of a larger, global community of Anglican Christians.
In the Episcopal Church there is room for your questions about God, faith and the church. There’s a place for you here.
The Site Map and SEARCH will help you find what you are looking for. Find resources and materials for clergy and diocesan and parish leaders under INSIDE the Diocese. If you have questions or feedback, let us know through the contact page.
The Episcopal Church will not do business with Hyatt hotels nationally until the hotel chain reinstates the 98 housekeepers recently fired from three Boston and Cambridge hotels and replaced with lower-paid subcontract workers.
The decision, made by the church’s Executive Council at its Oct. 5-8 meeting in Memphis, was instigated by the Diocese of Massachusetts’ General Convention deputies and bishops.
Diocesan Convention becomes a kind of big-tent meeting this year, as the Diocese of Massachusetts marks its 225th year Nov. 6-7 with a celebration that will spill out of Trinity Church onto Boston’s Copley Plaza.
