Building a Better World

Anchored in revered traditions, we look to the future with hope. Outreach programs of this parish seek to make that hope a reality by donating time and money to our local community and to those in need around the globe.

Our Outreach Committee opens our eyes to the needs of our community and world. A portion of our operating budget is donated every year to local organizations such as the Upper Valley Haven, the Vermont Food Bank, Good Neighbor Health Clinic & Red Logan Dental Clinic, and Willing Hands. An important part of our Lent and Advent celebrations every year is a special giving opportunity directed toward some pressing need in the U.S. or abroad. Recent recipients include the Mutual Aid Sudan Coalition and the Honduran Education Foundation.

Giving Garden

Our backyard is a busy place during the growing season, when a vegetable garden dedicated to former Marion Cross School principal Bill Hammond serves as a teaching tool for the school children and provides vegetables for school cooking projects and the Willing Hands food distribution program.

Appalachian Trail Hikers 

Our location on the Trail allows us to share our church with hikers. Over the course of the summer, dozens have stayed the night in our rectory or parish hall. Their journey can be a metaphor for our spiritual journey.
