"As we celebrate our 150th year at our unique corner of the world, we remain dedicated by faith to Christian service, wholesome stewardship, and the prayerful desire to deliver love and neighborhood into our 21st-century world. We listen. We respond. We celebrate. We continue to be a dynamic outpost for the work of Jesus Christ!"
Fr. Nick Mezacapa
Rector
Calvary Episcopal is known as "the little brick church" across the street from Mayo Clinic. For 150 years Calvary has served as a worship center and spiritual oasis for Rochester residents and visitors.
Our location gives us a unique, healing responsibility to offer peace and hope to people from all over the world, as well as our Rochester family. As a spiritual oasis, we offer the living waters of faith.
Worship is the spiritual center of our parish life. We strive to balance our historic traditions with the ongoing needs of the community, in Sunday morning services and a special weekly healing service. Music serves as a means of inspiration, celebration, and meditation in our worship.
Through education programs for all ages, we seek to enable spiritual growth. Our outreach efforts extend from hospital visits to local patients to relief efforts around the world. The congregation's active involvement in parish life keeps Calvary a dynamic outpost for the work of Jesus Christ.
