Christ Episcopal Church and San Marcos Mission, Tarrytown, New
York is a diverse and inclusive community. It exudes a warm,
embracing atmosphere today, just as it has throughout its 160
years in the historic Hudson River Valley Region.
Dating from 1837 and claiming a most noted vestry member in
“America’s first man of letters”, Washington Irving, Christ
Church continues to respond to the changing face of its
community. We are learning to proclaim the Gospel in an ever
changing, fast paced and multicultural world.
San Marcos has been the ministry for the past 13 years at Christ
Church serving the Latino community. While spiritual guidance
and worship are our main concern, the congregation is there also
for personal and moral support so often needed by an emigrant
community. San Marcos is a vital and growing part of our Church
and welcomes all Spanish-speaking individuals and families
coming to the area to join us in our ministry praising and
serving God.
San Marcos es ahora el ministerio latino de Christ Church,
Tarrytown, que responde a la necesidad de la comunidad Latina
del pueblo. Por 13 años hemos ayudado a nuestros hermanos y
hermanas latinos especialmente Suramericanos, que son los que se
han establecido en Tarrytown y sus alrededores. Les proveemos
apoyo moral, espiritual y personal en sus necesidades que toda
comunidad emigrante presenta. San Marcos es una congregacion que
esta presente para recibir a nuevas personas para fortalecer a
los que ya estan activos y esperar a las futuras familias. Con
la ayuda de la Parroquia, estamos preparados para este
ministerio y nos sentimos bencecidos por tener la oportunidad de
servir a Dios.
Whether you are visiting Christ Church or San Marcos for the
first time or searching for a faith community, we extend to you
a warm and enthusiastic welcome. We gather to celebrate the
presence of God in all creation, hear God’s Word spoken to us
through scripture and reflect on its meaning in our lives.
