Christ Church Greenwich To Celebrate 275th Anniversary

GREENWICH, CT — Christ Church Greenwich will celebrate its 275th anniversary with a special evening of fellowship, toasts, and a delicious seated dinner on Sept. 13 at 6 p.m.

Tickets are currently available for purchase here.

Special guest, The Right Rev. Jeffrey Mello, Bishop Diocesan of The Episcopal Church in Connecticut, will join the Rector of Christ Church Greenwich, Rev. Marek Zabriskie, to honor the church’s history and bless the next 275 years.

Senior Warden, Dominic Casserly, will pay tribute to some of the ministries that have been pillars of the church throughout the history of Greenwich.

"We owe a debt of gratitude to the committed parishioners whose tireless efforts and sacrificial service have played an integral role in building Christ Church Greenwich to its present stature, propelling us forward, ensuring that our church remains a beacon of light and hope in an ever-changing world," Zabriskie said in a news release.

According to the news release, the church has been a faith leader in Greenwich and the spiritual home for George H. W. Bush, the high society Rockefeller Lincoln wedding, the memorial service for Lauren Bessette and her sister, Carolyne Bessette Kennedy, married to John F. Kennedy, Jr.

A month ago, the Christ Church Greenwich choirs sang at Westminster Abbey, the Anglican church for the Royals, most recently where King Charles was crowned, Queen Elizabeth’s funeral was held, and many of the infamous Royal weddings.

The celebration will be catered by the owners of Applausi Restaurant in Old Greenwich. Guests can choose from a selection of three entrees at ticket purchase. Guests can dance after dinner to the nine-piece Showtime Dance Band, who will play a wide variety of oldies and new hits.

In September, Christ Church Greenwich is also celebrating the launch of their new hardbound coffee table book, "Celebrating 275Years at Christ Church Greenwich."

The book is a visual, narrated timeline that includes their role in the history of Greenwich. The book will be available at Dogwood Books & Gifts, located inside Christ Church Greenwich, after Labor Day.
