An Excerpt from Father James’ Sermon for Stewardship Sunday, 2018
Knowing the true meaning of stewardship as a necessary part of our Christian lives will help us see it as more than giving away some of our money. Again, the spiritual principle is that everything comes from God. We do not have anything of our own, it all belongs to God.
Father James' full sermon on stewardship is posted here.

The Baptismal Font
Our Baptismal Font was commissioned in 1850 (six years after the founding of the parish) by Elizabeth Perkins (whose family also established the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown). It is the oldest possession of the parish, designed by Frank Wills, and originally installed in the building on Green Street (now the Longfellow Place condo towers). It has followed us from Green Street to Bowdoin Street to Brimmer Street! It has been recently been restored through the gift of another generous parishioner.
