Welcome to Saint Ann's 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.

Season of Creation
September 1 – October 4, 2024
"The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration, conversion, and commitment together. During the Season of Creation, we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in prayer and action for our common home. The season starts 1 September, the Day of Prayer for Creation, and ends 4 October, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology beloved by many Christian denominations. Throughout the month-long celebration, the world’s 2.2 billion Christians come together to care for our common home."
We invite you to set aside a little time each day to grow in your awareness and "thanks-giving" for the amazing gifts of God's Creation here in our Connecticut home. This is the version that the Creation Care Network of the Episcopal Church of CT has created as a way to pray this Season of Creation. Each day features a different native species, a local ecosystem, or a creation care organization to pray for. Special thanks to my colleague Margaret Sipple for this idea and its implementation.

New Griswold Gallery Artist
We welcome new parishioner Howard Park exhibiting a collection of his paintings in the Griswold Room. Howard attended the Masters of Fine Arts program at Tufts University and studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He continued his studies in France at L’Ecole d’Art Decorative de Nice, where he won a prize in photography. His love of the sea led him to Connecticut to manage a boatyard and raise a family. He now owns HGPark Fine Art Conservation, focusing on restoration, fine art appraisals, including original oil paintings, works on paper, objects, etchings, murals and antique frames. Howard’s modern-impressionist oil and watercolor paintings portray his love of the sea and the ever changing landscapes. Don’t miss his beautiful exhibit.
