St. John's Episcopal Church

WORSHIP & HEALING

The worship of St. John’s, as an Anglo ("English") Catholic parish, centers around the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Our services take the form of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer .

Everything Jesus did in his ministry he empowered his disciples and the church to do as well. This means we today can pray for healing as Jesus did and see dramatic results. Healing of body, mind, soul, and spirit is not only a ministry of the church, it is a gospel imperative.

Historically, St. John’s, Ogdensburg is Gothic architecture, dating back to the 19th century.  The stained glass windows are simply magnificent, and harken back to a time when they were used to tell the stories of Christ and his goodly band of Apostles.  Nestled in each corner of the nave are two beautifully appointed side chapels–one dedicated to the Holy Family and the other to our Armed Forces. There’s even a Bishop’s Throne. With its imposing four-pointed bell tower, and carefully manicured campus, St. John’s Church houses a number of historic treasures–a hand-carved baptistery, a gold-framed, painted portrait of the first Rector (dating back to the 1820s), and centuries old “holy hardware” of every imaginable shape and size.
