St. Anne's Episcopal Church welcomes you!

Welcome,

Our parish began in 1879 when parishioners of St. Anne's Lowell, who lived in Billerica, started meeting in homes as the St. Alban's Guild for men, and the St. Elizabeth's Guild for women. A church was built and consecrated in 1890 and remained a mission church until 1959. Since then there have been five rectors: Stephen Austill, Ellwyn Nichols, Ken Campbell, Geoff Lennan, and Peggy Howell, the present rector.

St. Anne's continues to be rooted in the Episcopal tradition, welcoming all people and expressing that diversity in a variety of worship and educational experiences.

Church services are at 8:00 AM, with Holy Eucharist Rite I without music, and at 10:00 AM, with Holy Eucharist Rite II with music. For both services there is an Overflow area (right of the altar when facing it) available for families with their young children. We hold Church school during the 10:00 AM service, with 4 different classes that are available for toddlers up to teens. Click on the 'Christian Formation' link on the left navigation bar for further information.

At St. Anne's, there are many ways that parishioners can participate in parish life. Below you will find a listing of the opportunities. Further information about these opportunities can be found by going to the Fellowship/Groups link on the left navigation bar.
