St. Paul's Natick
St. Paul's Episcopal Church is a friendly suburban parish that represents greater diversity than many suburban parishes of our size. We celebrate this diversity and try to make everyone feel welcome, regardless of who they are, what their backgrounds are, or their present circumstances. We are a parish of about 300 families, mostly from Natick, but also from neighboring communities such as Framingham, Wayland, Holliston, Medway, Needham, Wellesley, etc. In the Fall of 2004, we had 150+ children registered in our church school programs. We are a mixture of protestant and catholic traditions, old and young, liberal, moderate, and conservative voices, married and single, children and adults.
St. Paul's has been present in Natick since 1871 and has been at our current location, across from the new Natick fire station, since 1920. We are known for our music programs, Christian education programs, and a lively coffee hour at 11:15 am on Sundays. We have an active Outreach ministry serving the local Natick and Boston communities. Since 1983, we have supported a sister parish in Port-de-Paix, Haiti. Please see more details in areas of the web site that focus on our ministries.
If you are thinking of joining a church, please come for a visit. Casual dress is just fine. We have ample free parking available in the town parking lot next to the church or behind the downtown police station. We can assure you that you will find a warm and welcoming environment that we hope you will come to think of as your second home.
