ABOUT US

We welcome everyone to join us at St. Mary's Episcopal Church. 

St. Mary's Church began in 1704 on the banks of Chapel Branch, west of what is now Seaford, as a chapel of ease (under the Diocese of Easton, MD).

The boundary between Maryland and the Three Lower Counties on the Delaware River was in dispute until 1768. Tradition tells us that St. Mary's suffered a fire was recorded as closed in 1803. The congregation met in several homes in Seaford and Bridgeville and in what was then known as Patten's Hall.

On February 2, 1892, Bishop Coleman dedicated the present church as a memorial to Bishop Alfred Lee, the first Bishop of Delaware, 1884-1887.

Following a fire in November 1979, the church was restored and the present Parish House was built.
