Welcome to Saint Ann's Episcopal Parish
Welcome to Saint Ann’s Old Lyme, an Episcopal Church in Connecticut on the coasts of the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound. We have been a welcoming community on the shoreline since 1883.
​
We invite you to come and see us at Saint Ann’s Sundays as we share the love of God in Jesus Christ. Join us during the week for community events, educational programs and fellowship opportunities. Learn about our commitment to addressing poverty, homelessness, refugee resettlement, food insecurity and climate change.
Be with us in person and virtually in discovering God’s abundance and joy.
The Rev’d Dr. Anita Louise Schell, Rector
Saint Ann's
Mission Statement
We are a community of Christians,
open to all, who serve God in Jesus Christ through worship, education, mission and fellowship.
Help in times of need
If you or someone you know is in need of financial assistance, the rector’s discretionary fund offers some financial assistance. In addition, Mother Anita can recommend local agencies that assist with food and basic supplies. Mother Anita can be reached via the office phone, 860 434 1621, or email priest@saintannsoldlyme.org, or in person. The loose offering from the first Sunday of the month’s s plate offering goes to fund the rector’s discretionary fund as do contributions made directly to the fund.
Here is a link to the Shoreline Soup Kitchens and Pantries website as well.

Preparing for Giving Tree Season
​
The Outreach Committee is already organizing for our work during the holiday season. Before the Giving Tree goes up on Thanksgiving weekend to support families and children, we're hoping to collect items for a different population at the New London Homeless Hospitality Center.
They are in need of men's belts, small umbrellas, reading glasses, plastic file organizers, note size spiral bound pads, and backpacks.
You can leave your donations in the labeled basket in the Griswold Room.
Thank you!!​
