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.

The New Consort presents Robert White's Lamentations a5
Monday, October 7, 7:30pm, Reception to follow
To express our gratitude to the Saint Ann's and larger Lyme/Old Lyme communities for your continued support of our growing ensemble, The New Consort is delighted to announce a FREE, 25-minute mini-concert on October 7th, 2024 at 7:30 PM! A reception with light refreshments will immediately follow.
This mini-concert spotlights English Renaissance composer Robert White’s Lamentations a5, which viscerally expresses Jeremiah’s sorrow at the Biblical destruction of Jerusalem. This beautiful piece's themes are all the more poignant in light of White's tragically early death from the Black Plague in 1574. We'll also feature a familiar choral nugget or two... but you'll have to come to find out what they are!
