A Word from Father Ed:

I am so blessed to be accepted by the parish of St. Edward's Episcopal Church as their Rector. This is an amazing parish that has survived so many challenges and continues to be a warm retreat for those seeking the wonder and grace of our Lord. All are welcome to join us and will be warmly received. The people of St. Edward's work as a family in providing an amazing sanctuary for Christians of all ages and backgrounds. Our regular services on Sunday are complemented by a healing service on
Wednesday at noon and a contemporary service on the second Sunday afternoon of each month. We are a family oriented church with an active youth group as well as offering many amenities for our senior members.
A plaque at the Statue of Liberty quotes Emma Lazarus' Famous Poem; "Give me your tired, your poor, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...I lift a lamp beside the golden door." Let those who hunger for God's word and are poor in spirit, and yearn to be spiritually free come to St. Edward's, the "Light of Christ" is always lit.
