SACO — The Most Rev. Brian Marsh, bishop of the Anglican Church in America, Diocese of the Northeast, will make an Episcopal visit to St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church on Sunday, Dec. 21.
The Bishop will officiate and offer the homily at the 10 a.m. service. On this fourth Sunday in Advent, just a few days before Christmas, the Bishop’s message will be especially relevant and the public is cordially invited to attend, church officials said in a prepared statement.
The Anglican Church in America is a continuing Anglican church body and the United States’ branch of the Traditional Anglican Communion. The ACA is separate from the Episcopal Church and is not a member of the Anglican Communion. It comprises four dioceses and around 5,200 members.
St. Augustine of Canterbury has a growing congregation and is a member of the Anglican Church in America and the worldwide Traditional Anglican Communion, according to church officials. It remains faithful to the Holy Bible and worships according to the traditional Book of Common Prayer.
The parish worships at 168 North St. in Saco at 10 a.m. on Sundays. The parish is led by the Rev. Jeffrey Monroe, vicar, and the Rev. Deacon Allen Ryan, curate.
