The church has some of the finest and most majestic stained-glass windows in the country. They were crafted and installed in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. One of the focal points in the church is an Austin pipe organ.
Today, the church is the largest Episcopal Church building in the State of Rhode Island. It seats nearly 800 people, but the present congregation is small due to changing demographics and an interstate highway that effectively cuts it off from downtown Providence.
The congregation is vibrant and focused on planning for the future of the parish. There is a strong feeling of hope and anticipation as the mission and vision of the parish is being sharpened and implemented. The Rev. Dr. David A. Ames is serving as our Interim Priest-in-Charge during this strategic planning phase of our parish life.
