Our liturgy, our home, and our community are a celebration of God’s gifts to us.
Solemn Evensong and Bishop’s Visitation
September brought an important and felicitous occasion in the life of the Parish, in the visit of Bishop Alan Gates for a meeting with the Vestry, Solemn Evensong, and Confirmations. Our warmest prayers go to all those confirmed, namely Fei Cao, Lindsey Gao, & Denise Huff.
Entr’acte featuring Dr. Lauren Whitnah
We were pleased to have Dr. Lauren Whitnah, the new Dean of Nashotah House Theological Seminary, speak to a packed room at our Entr’acte Session this past Sunday on the subject of “A Medievalist Thinks About Spiritual Formation.”
Rector’s Visit to Kenya
Church of the Advent Rector Fr. Alistair is seen here on his recent trip to visit His Grace Archbishop Eliud Wabukala and his wife Rhoda in Kenya, where he toured the site of the Mama Karen Primary School and adjacent church, with the help of our parish.
The Advent is a warm, welcoming, and supportive community of faithful Christians.
Holiness is a lifelong and ongoing pursuit, to which we commit ourselves in heart, mind, and deed. By fostering thoughtful faith through formation of young children and families and challenging adult education programs and pursuing dedicated service through our hospitable coffee hours and the city’s longest-running free meal for the needy, everything we do flows to and from our commitment to learning and living out the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We were founded in 1844 to bring traditional Anglo-Catholic liturgical practices to Boston’s faithful Christians.
As the first church in the city to not charge pew rents, The Advent threw open our doors to all followers of Jesus Christ. We preserve our tradition of worship by praying the Daily Office and celebrating the Mass every day for the blessing and benefit of all who are seeking closer relationship with God.
Every week, we host the city’s longest-running free meal for the needy.
Christian Stewardship is an opportunity to share God’s work in our lives with our community. Giving in any measure is evidence of our gratitude for God who loves us.
