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

Lenten Book Study
Tuesdays at 4pm during Lent
February 24 through March 31
For Such a Time as This provides a thoughtful framework for discernment rooted in scripture, historical wisdom, and the core commitments of Christian faith. Through meditations on scripture, reflections on historical precedents including the Confessing Church’s resistance to Nazi Germany, and portraits of inspiring figures who maintained their integrity in the face of oppression, Reichel guides readers toward their own Christian response to the present moment.
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.
