Winter 2019

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the year of our Lord 2019!

It is a joy to welcome you and introduce you to the life and ministry of Saint Anselm's. During this year of 2019 our desire is to be a welcoming place where any and all can come and be enriched in living.   Consult our parish calendar and know that you are welcome to join in any activity at any time.

We are a gathering of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Long Island. We strive to be a place of spiritual enrichment and life encouragement to people of all ages. We believe that in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in the sacraments of God's love there is a way of life that provides nourishment all days and steadiness through days of trouble.

Ours is a congregation made up of great folks from every living generation, from infants to lively nonagenarians. We have services available for all, from the infants and children in Saint Anselm's Academy to our outreach to senior citizens. We seek to serve others in our area and afar as well.

Throughout the winter season we will carry on, gathering on Sunday and throughout the week for prayer and worship, reaching out to our community in service, offering educational and inspirational opportunities for folk of all ages.  We are endeavoring to present more intergenerational activities. Messy Church on the second Friday evening of each month is a great example.  Come over and engage us in conversation.

Explore our site here. Team up with us on social media to see what's going on to the moment. We are on Facebook and Instagram. Please phone or stop by if you have questions or would like to meet face to face. And above all, please come to worship with us. Pray with us and see if you'd like to join us in ongoing fashion. You are most welcome to throw in with us along the way.

Yours in Christ this Advent and always,

John McGinty+
Rector

A word about our patron saint

Are you New to Saint Anselm's? Welcome!

Whether you are visiting for the day or engaged in the search for a spiritual home, we are glad that you are here. Our parish is named after an early medieval saint and philosopher who poured out his energy seeking to understand God. To understand the truth of God is to understand the truth of humanity, created in God's image. You are welcome to join in this joyful search. If you come to pray at St. Anselm's, do introduce yourself. If you would like to be in contact with the Rector, fill out the form here and we will be in touch. Again, welcome!
