The Church of the
Holy Name - Episcopal
Swampscott, MA USA

Welcome to the Church of the Holy Name.

It is a joy and privilege to have you here. It won’t take long to discover that Church of the Holy Name is truly a family, rich in the relationships that matter most. We believe that every person is valuable and special and we are honored by your presence.

As a community of faith we grow together through worship and fellowship. We pray, we serve, we laugh, we cry, we learn and reach out to others with the transforming love of Christ. One of our goals is to be more open to the power of prayer and to the leading of the Holy Spirit. This happens through inspirational and joy filled worship as well as meditative spaces for quiet thought and reflection.

What’s in a name…? The feast of the Holy Name is celebrated January 1st of each year. It recognizes the name Jesus, given by Mary and Joseph to their newborn son. Emmanuel means God is with us. This is a reality we try to live into at Church of the Holy Name. Jesus shares with us every moment of our lives; our hopes, dreams, fears, failures, joys and our longing for meaning. He is present with us no matter what.

If you've been thinking, praying, searching and hoping for a place to belong, we say again... welcome. Our doors are open. Our hearts are open as well.

Welcome!

The Rev. Mark Templeman, Rector
