Plan Your Visit
St. Mary’s welcomes everyone.
Whoever you are, and wherever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome.
About the Services at St. Mary’s
8:00 AM: The 8:00 am Service uses the traditional Elizabethan English of Holy Eucharist Rite One. It is a quiet, spoken, contemplative service without music.
10:30 AM: Our 10:30 am Service uses the contemporary language of Holy Eucharist Rite Two, and is anchored by music from our St. Mary’s Choir.
What to Expect in Worship
The worship at St. Mary’s is distinguished by rich tradition, sacred music, and the inclusion and participation of our diverse community. Our beautiful sanctuary provides the perfect setting for prayer, reflection, and celebration. We are centered in the Eucharist (Holy Communion) and the Book of Common Prayer.
From whatever tradition you come, and where ever you are in your spiritual journey, you are welcome at the Lord’s Table. To receive Communion, come down the center aisle as directed by the usher. Hold out your hands to receive the bread. If you prefer to receive a blessing, come forward and cross your arms over your chest.
Children & Families
Children and families are always welcome at St. Mary’s. At the front left of the church sanctuary, there is a soft worship space designed just for children so they can better see, hear, and participate in the service. Youth bulletins containing activities and the themes from the Sunday lessons are available.
Location
We are located at 428 Park Avenue in Laguna Beach, just up the hill from downtown.
There is free reserved parking available in the lots above and below the church.
Coffee Hour
After our 10:30am service, our Hospitality Ministry provides coffee and refreshments. All are welcome to fellowship following the Rite II Service.
“We promise to welcome you in Christ’s name. We will honor the gifts you bring. We will invite you into our community, or wish you well if you choose another path.”
