Welcome to St. Bride's Church (Episcopal/Anglican)
Thank you for looking at our website! We hope this will give you an idea of who we are and what is our purpose. We invite you to join us.
Saint Bride's is the Anglo-Catholic parish in southern Virginia. This means that we are fully Anglican (from the Church of England), yet follow the theology and liturgy of the Catholic Revival in the Church of England, known as the Oxford Movement. Every Sunday we offer a simple Low Mass and a High Mass (with incense, chanting, classical yet singable music with pipe organ). We have a statue of Our Lady of Walsingham from England (the first Shrine to a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary, ca. 1061) with votive candles. We also say the Angelus at the end of every Mass, and have a Rosary Group.
Though part of the Diocese of Southern Virginia, we dissent from many of the decisions and pronouncements of the Diocese and the Episcopal Church USA. We have therefore been granted an alternative bishop for Pastoral Care (sometimes referred to as DEPO), Bishop William Skilton Retired, assistant bishop of the Dominican Republic. This is a wonderful and warm parish to live out a traditional Anglican life as a disciple of Jesus Christ, in the fullness of the Catholic Faith.
Childcare is provided at both Masses. Join us this Sunday!
