St Anthony's By The Sea, 82 Main St, Gloucester, MA 01930, US

HistorySt. John's was founded in on October 7, 1863 when a group of fervent Christians who had been meeting under the leadership of Rev. John R. Pierce voted to constitute themselves as St. John's Church. Unlike all the protestant churches on Middle Street -- at one point there were five -- the pews were always free. Without private ownership of the fabric of the church, it was open to all, rich or poor. In recent years, the parish has attracted a new group of devoted parishioners. With an enthusiastic new rector and committed laity, St. John's looks to grow its congregation in numbers as well as in depth, so that we may continue to serve the various communities that comprise Gloucester and Cape Ann for generations to come.SpecialtiesWelcoming and affirming, St. John's Episcopal Church is a dynamic evolving spiritual community open to God's grace and human faith. Our mission in Christ is to nurture and equip members for spiritual growth and active participation in ministries of compassion, justice, and peace in the church and beyond. Please join us for worship every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Our parking lot is located at 33 Washington St, across from Winchester Fishing.
