The church was to serve as a community church, affiliated with any denomination willing to hold services there. The Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island made the first move and Grace Church entered our diocese in 1905 as a mission church. The Rev’d Levi B. Edwards had come to serve as its first vicar by Christmas, 1901. Early church records are incomplete, but it was clearly through generous donations from local industrial firms, including Washburn Wire Works and Glenlyon Print Works, that the struggling young mission stayed open. The Phillips family, for whom the village of Phillipsdale was named, also strongly supported the church during the 1930’s. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, the church grew under the Rev’d Daniel Osborn’s 13 year tenure. In 1965, the Rev’d Dr. Tiffany became Rector and, under his leadership, the church continued to grow and reached its peak strength. During the late 1970’s and 1980’s, the number of active members continued to decline, and by 1989 there were only 17 pledging households with 40 communicants in good standing. During the 1980’s, parishioners took up again the possibility of merging with the Church of St. Michael and All Angels, though no action was taken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea24620ffd983a6853ab8a/1593656720635-F76DUCDC4IGPECGSJTQ4/St-Michaels-All-Angels.jpg Our History - Church of St. Michael & All Angels / 1944-1989 On September 17, 1944, papers were signed to form The Church of St. Michael and All Angels. Long before that, Ida Bridgham and her sister, Eliza Appleton, remembered that their mother, Mrs. Joseph Bridgham, had gathered a small group of Episcopalians in her home for services. This continued in other homes after her death. Many people who took an interest worked diligently to help this gathering get off the ground. There were many setbacks before the papers were signed, but in 1944, Miss Bridgham and Mrs. Appleton each donated one half of the land on which our church now stands. On September 23, 1953, ground-breaking ceremonies took place for a planned church building; on July 24, 1954, an adult choir was formed under the direction of James Hallan, and the service of dedication for the new “upstairs church” took place on September 26, 1954. On May 15, 1955, the mission of St. Michael and All Angels became a parish. On Easter Sunday, 1969, ground-breaking ceremonies were held for the new parish house, narthex, and church as we know it. The congregation burned the mortgage as celebration in 1971 at the Parish Annual Meeting. In May 1971, the George H. Henderson Memorial Courtyard was given by his wife, Mary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea24620ffd983a6853ab8a/1593656959185-NS8Z2H6UORSE9VG3FEAG/St-Michaels-All-Angels-and-Parish-Hall.jpg Our History - St. Michael & Grace Church / 1989-2007 At a special parish meeting on December 3, 1989, the Church of St. Michael and All Angels and Grace Church voted to consolidate. The new name would be St. Michael and Grace Church. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea24620ffd983a6853ab8a/bf9f7a42-05a7-4f5a-adc2-275d368d30c3/St-Martins-Pawtucket-GoogleStreetview-2021.png Our History - St. Martin’s / 1913-2006 In 1913 the Rev’d W. F. Parsons was authorized by the Episcopal Bishop of Rhode Island to open a Sunday School and to institute a service of Evening Prayer in private homes. By 1914 it became known as St. Martin’s Mission and was progressing nicely. In 1915 the mission moved to the store on the corner of Armistice Blvd (Brook St.) and Newport Ave. (where Chelo’s Beef Hearth later was located). The Rev’d Lincoln Dwyer held services there. Things were moving along and by 1920 the congregation moved to the Potter & Johnston lunch room at Grand and Saratoga Avenue. In 1922 Bishop James DeWolf Perry assigned Dr. William Townsend to the congregation and by 1921 he assumed full charge of the mission, becoming the first full time priest. Now all systems were go to move ahead and by 1932 a permanent basement and foundation were constructed at Newport and Hughes Avenues on land donated by the Potter family. The Sunday School was still located on Saratoga Avenue. Things were moving at a fast pace so that by 1941 a permanent church building was needed and the Vestry hired architects to design a Romanesque Style structure. Many gifts had been given over the years and much work and planning had gone into this. For example, the Potter family had donated the land on which the church, parish house and rectory were build as well as the Altar which became part of the church. There was about to be another exciting gift to come to the church. A series of stained glass windows were commissioned and installed by the Charles Cornish Studio of Boston. Each window was to depict an important event in the life of St. Martin of Tours. The windows took seven years to complete and install, the first in 1945 and the last by 1952. We later learned that the Cornish Studio was second in quality only to Tiffany. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea24620ffd983a6853ab8a/5d4d7f03-c13f-441e-aa08-39ebcf895d86/20210624_095414.jpg Our History - Make it stand out A recent photo of the front lawn, sign, grounds, and campus. https://www.epiphanyep.org/youth-formation daily 0.75 2025-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eea24620ffd983a6853ab8a/26a41df9-fbae-44b9-85ed-c2253a8c4183/Egg+Hunt+%2725+371x466.jpg Formation - Babies & Toddlers We welcome worshipers of all ages.

It is modeled after the 13th century labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral in France. Christians throughout the centuries have used it as a way of centering and walking prayer, a wandering journey of life into the center, symbolizing the embrace of the loving heart of God. “Solvitur ambulando.
