Century Celebration, 2023–2024

To mark the hundredth anniversary of the 1924 founding of St. Andrew’s, we have been having a series of celebratory events and activities, beginning in September 2023 and culminating at the end of June 2024.

We invite all present and past parishioners, neighbors, and members of St. Andrew’s extended community, near and far, to come to one or more services, events, and activities, to help us celebrate the wonderful history of this parish and its place in the community and the world.
