They tell a great story about one of Rochester's most distinguished landmark buildings.  Thanks to Ron Vukman for the shots and for his incredible stewardship of this major project.  A bequest from Ruth Richardson provided the seed money, which was enhanced by grants and your generosity.

Romantic Organ to arrive late May from Portland, Maine

The next phase of our relationship with the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative will manifest itself in the form of an 1893 Hook & Hastings (Opus 1573) strikingly similar to the 1861 EEG Hook (Opus 308) that was in the chancel for over 90 years.

Organ and Schola Recordings Available

Please go to the Music main page for detailed information.  These three CD's are available after the 11:00am Sunday liturgy and after Compline Sunday night.  Proceeds from your purchases will assist our various musical programs at Christ Church.

Sunday Sermons now Online

Go to the Worship section and the Sermons page will drop down.  Many of you have wanted to "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" Ruth's preaching, and we have heard you!  We try to list them in chronological order, but scroll down to be sure.

See you in church!

Social Networking

Welcome to the Christ Church website. We are members of the Episcopal Diocese of Rochester New York, where we live out Bishop Prince Singh’s call for Radical Hospitality, Creative Mission, and Passionate Spirituality.

Whether you have been a life-long Episcopalian or whether you are curious about how the Church might be relevant and meaningful for you in today's world, we welcome you. On any given day of the week you may find us carrying hot food from our kitchen to hungry neighbors, or absorbed in the beauty of music and liturgy. You may find us hosting world class musicians through our partnership with the Eastman School of Music, or pulling stones from our garden beds. You may find us deep in study of deChardin’s “The Phenomenon of Man” or driving someone home from the hospital. You will find us both deepening our faith and asking questions; called to both action and contemplation by the words of our Scriptures; and circling around Christ's Table—with all our likenesses and differences—as One Body.

Whether you are a sojourner passing by or looking for a parish family, it is my sincere hope you will stop by. We would love to host you.

In Christ,
The Rev. Ruth Ferguson
