Joy of Giving Advent Calendar

Calvary Families – last year, the Joy of Giving Advent Calendar was a remarkable success! We are inviting you to join us again in giving to others this Advent season. Please collect non-perishable food during the month of December. Then, bring your donations to Calvary at the end of Advent. All donations will be donated to local charities again. Thank you! – Colleen Spillers, Calvary Outreach

Calvary Episcopal Church Supports The Landing

The Landing MN is a day center here in Rochester supporting local persons who are facing homelessness. We at Calvary are honored to support the work that they do. We have a collection bin in Brackenridge Hall and accept the following items. If you are interesting in learning more about what they do, volunteering, or donating funds to help them, please check out their website.

Join the Outreach Team at Calvary

At Calvary we are looking to refresh our outreach team. What does outreach look like to you? What areas of service speak to your heart? Does working alongside others in the areas social, racial, environmental, civic, or economic justice feel like a calling to you?

We are looking for team members, project volunteers, and idea generators! If you are interested in being part of outreach at Calvary in any part, please fill out this form.

GO! Get Engaged!

God in our neighborhood. As Episcopalians, we are called to Missio Dei — the “sending of God” to help those in need — as well as to working for peace and justice, and sharing God’s love in the world.

Our unique location in downtown Rochester surrounded by the Mayo Clinic gives us the opportunity to minister not only to our parish family but also to visitors to our community. Calvary’s Outreach Core is working deliberately and purposefully to fulfill our long-term mission to serving God’s people in our neighborhood.

Be on the lookout for Outreach at Calvary opportunities which are posted on Calvary’s Facebook page, in the weekly service bulletin, The Visitor, on the Outreach bulletin board, in announcements and RIGHT HERE on our web page!

How do we reach beyond our walls?
Just as Jesus sent the disciples two by two, we also want to go out into our neighborhood two by two, or family by family, and engage with the work that awaits us. To support our neighborhood and those who live in it, we are engaged with these projects listed below.

Members of the parish are encouraged to join fellow parishioners in our established ministries:
