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

Featuring "The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness" by Simon Wiesenthal
“A Holocaust survivor's surprising and thought-provoking study of forgiveness, justice, compassion, and human responsibility, featuring contributions from the Dalai Lama, Harry Wu, Cynthia Ozick, Primo Levi, and more.
You are a prisoner in a concentration camp. A dying Nazi soldier asks for your forgiveness. What would you do?”
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.
