The mission is twofold.
On July 7, St. John’s Chapel on Hanover Street becomes an official “mission” of the Episcopal Church, which by definition will provide ongoing financial support and direction.
But the chapel has its own mission to reach out to the East Side community, assisting girls and women especially. Since before its consecration last October, St. John’s has set itself the task of providing a safe haven for learning and worship and empowering its members to transcend the particular hardships of daily life, according to its vicar, the Rev. Dallas H. Wilson Jr.
When you have growing parishes such as these, things like this are possible. DSC is one of only a few dioceses where this is possible. Have you noticed that when you include everyone and everything, you shrink?
