St Mary's Episcopal Church

About

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church has been serving the community for over 175 years, reaching out through worship, special events, and concerts.

Story

St. Mary’s Episcopal Church has been serving the Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant communities of Brooklyn for over 175 years, beginning as a Sunday school organized by the rector of Trinity Church and consecrated as a parish in 1836. Because of a rapidly growing congregation, the parish purchased property at Classon and Willoughby avenues. The current church building was completed in 1859, consecrated in 1862, and externally remains essentially unchanged from its original design. Reflecting the significant growth of the Episcopal Church on Long Island in those years, it became a parish within the newly-created Diocese of Long Island in 1868.

The parish has served quite a variety of ethnic groups throughout its history as Brooklyn received new waves of immigrants from Europe and the Caribbean, and welcomed people from the then mainly agricultural southern states who were looking for work in the industrial northern states. As the Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant communities have transformed over the years, so too has the makeup of parish membership. This transformation continues to this very day.
St. Mary’s continues to reach out to the community through concerts and through social events. Recent concerts include opera (Rossini’s The Barber of Seville), Jazz Café, and concerts produced by St. Mary’s Organist and Director of Music: A Potpourri of Song℠ like “Pietà Signore” “Mozart in the Middle”, “Un Peu de Tout”, "Different Hats", and "Dueling Divas". Social events include yard sales and the annual Martin Luther King Day Community Celebration in January. The parish runs a Salvage Bureau that collects used and unwanted clothing, distributing that which is in good condition to those in need.

St. Mary’s church building was registered as a Historic Landmark in 1986, recognizing it as a significant architectural and historic structure in Brooklyn and New York, ensuring that the church building will be preserved for years to come.

I called to have many bags of gently used clothes picked up, they came in a truck the next day and took them. Polite, nice, professional, esp Mr. Ramirez! Highly recommend. The church gives these clothes directly to people in need, so IMO they are better than Goodwill who makes a profit! Donate to St. Mary’s and do good for others who are struggling and homeless
St. Mary's Church Clothing Drive are very hospitable. I pray many more people will donate generously to them because they give out to the community . I didn't just liked it I loved it.
A Disappointing Donation Experience I am quite disappointed in your clothing drive and your church misrepresents it's self. I contacted you and informed you that I have 32 bags of lightly used and new designer clothing.  Your driver came and left saying the van was full and he would be coming back with an empty van in an hour. The clothing was labeled in clear plastic bags for St. Mary's church. Then five minutes later, I received a call from a man stating that the clothing was soiled which is not the case and the church cannot use them. I do not understand the boldface lies. The clear plastic bags were set aside on the ground floor of the house. The clothing had to be moved because my contractor is doing work for me and they were blocking the entrance. We would have easily  brought them out to the van although clearly there were two men, a driver and helper. Your church misrepresented it's self and from now on I will make my donations elsewhere...and I do have quite a bit to donate as I am starting the process of purging and giving away lots of stuff that I no longer use including a working car. Your loss will be someone else's valuable gain and blessings. Very unprofessional and disappointing experience.
I honestly was super worried after reading all the reviews, but my experience was super fast, seamless, and easy. The time slot is between 8-4 PM. My driver called me I live in an apt around 11 AM and within 6 minutes the entire process was done. He gave me the receipt after I brought all the bags down I had two. Happy that it’s going to a good cause. Thanks again.
My mother and I have been donating clothes to Saint Mary's for many many years. We have never had a problem. Only one time someone must have needed the clothing more then the church did. The driver rang my bell and asked for the bags. That's when we realized someone stole them. Always put "SaintMarys"on the bags. God bless
I've donated clothes but I've never had a pickup scheduled...I'm 3 blocks away so just load my shopping cart and walk there. I would like to know if I can get Holy Water from the church?
I have made two appointments for St. Mary’s to pick and both tines the pickup went smoothly. There is only one person working on the pickup van so I left my donations on the front step and St Mary’s left a receipt both times. I will donate to the. Whenever I have anything to donate.
Extremely upset, called last week to set up a pickup today October 05,2020. Told The pickup would be between the hours 8-2. Called at quarter to two and was told hours were from 8-4. It is now 5pm, no one came, no one called and I have six large bags of good cloths that now will have to sit until I find someone else. I cannot drive as I do not have a car. Very disappointed in lack of effort to be more professional.
I have been donating clothes at St. Mary for a long time. They are very Professional and they pick up the day that they say they will pick up. I have recommends St. Mary’s to one of my neighbor on my block and she was so happy because she didn’t know st. Mary pick up from her door.
Good the gentleman who picked up my stuff was fast in and out this is the 3rd time I've had a easy smooth experience
