Welcome to this historic Parish Church founded in 1708 and chartered by Queen Anne in 1713. British headquarters during the Revolutionary War, family parish of Saint Elizabeth Bayley Seton and Mother Episcopal Church on Staten Island. Despite our age and heritage we are a vital congregation proclaiming the presence of Christ among us. We are a parish of “all sorts and conditions” (BCP p. 814). We are young and old, married and single, we are straight, gay and lesbian; we come from many races, traditions and nationalities, yet in our diversity we strive to be of one heart, mind and soul.
