GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Closing Service
5:30 p.m.
From the early days of the settlement of Sangerfield and Waterville, in the late 1790’s, what Episcopalians there were in the community walked the seven miles to St Paul’s church on Paris Hill, which had been organized in 1795, to attend services.
In 1840, however, John Berrill and Amos Osborn made that trek to consult with the Rt. Rev. Bishop DeLancey, who was visiting there, for the purpose of consulting him on the matter of establishing an Episcopal Church in Waterville.
DeLancey gave his blessing to the organization of the parish and, two years later – in 1842 – he came to the Village to consecrate the first Episcopal church, which was on White Street.
Barely ten years later, the congregation had outgrown that building and purchased the site of the present building on the corner of East Main Street and Babbott Avenue. The White Street building was sold to the Welsh Congregational Society who used it until 1926, who, in turn, sold it to the Village for use as the municipal hall in 1931.
Grace Episcopal Church was consecrated on June 15, 1854.
