About our Community
At St. Benedict’s Anglo-Catholic Mission, we envision a sacred community where ancient tradition and radical inclusivity unite. Rooted in the beauty of high church liturgy, we seek to be a place of deep spiritual encounter, transformative worship, and compassionate action.
Inspired by St. Benedict’s call to prayer, stability, and service, we are committed to a faith that is both mystical and engaged with the world. We believe that true worship extends beyond the altar, manifesting in acts of justice, mercy, and care for all creation. Through our homeless outreach and animal welfare ministry, Marshmallow’s Haven, we affirm the dignity of every human being and the sacredness of all life.
As a member of the Convergent Catholic Communion, we embody a vision of unity in diversity, where all are welcomed, affirmed, and embraced. We strive to be a beacon of love, inclusion, and holiness, where faith is not only preserved but lived with conviction and compassion.
All are welcome. All are affirmed. All are beloved.
As a mission in formation, St. Benedict’s Anglo-Catholic Mission is steadily growing into a community of worship, service, and spiritual depth. At this stage, Mass is celebrated once per month in rotating locations, allowing us to gather in sacred worship while we continue to establish our presence.
Between these celebrations, we foster community, spiritual growth, and theological exploration through intentional gatherings and outreach.
