St. Mary's Episcopal Church

We are located about five minutes west of downtown Morganton in the historic community of Quaker Meadows. Our parish is in the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina.

We are glad that you have come to visit us today and encourage you to take a moment and bookmark our site so that you can visit us often. 

St. Mary's is a traditional parish in liturgy and architecture, but a progressive parish in organization and community involvement. Many of our members work tirelessly and creatively with others in our community to combat hunger, homelessness, racism, and other significant issues. By the power and grace of God we are seeing the peace of God unfold in our community.

We are excited about our church and our community and would love to share that excitement with you. If you are planning to relocate to our area, we would love the opportunity to talk with you. Please e-mail us or call us and we will help you make the most of your time here.

We are glad that you have come to visit. Peace be with you until we see you again!

“Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy catholic church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
