We’re So Glad You’re Here

"I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me" - Matthew 25:35

Welcome to the Episcopal Parish of Alton (EPA), a historic 179 year old family sized urban parish located along the Mississippi River just north of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.  We are a member of the Springfield Diocese and a Eucharistic Community with two worship sites serving the Riverbend of Illinois – St. Paul’s Church, located in downtown Alton on the corner of Market & Third Streets, and Trinity Chapel located on State Street in North Alton.
