St. Francis by the Sea

St. Francis by the Sea is a welcoming Episcopal parish at 920 Salter Path Road in Salter Path, on the sound side of NC 58 and next door to Lost Treasure and Golf. It belongs to the diocese-of-east-carolina. Its motto could be "Come as you are. All are welcome." Whether you're vacationing on Bogue Banks, live nearby in Carteret County, already call the parish home, or are simply curious about the Episcopal tradition, there's a seat for you. See st-francis-by-the-sea-salter-path for the parish profile.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 AM, with a livestream starting around 9:55 AM on YouTube. Sunday School and a nursery are available. On Wednesdays at noon, the celtic-eucharist gathers in a circle around a small altar in the St. Clare Chapel. It is a short, informal, restful service. First-time visitors can find practical help in page-3192066 (Welcome & Plan Your Visit) and page-3177659 (Join Us), and questions are welcome at 252-240-2388.

Parish life reaches well beyond Sunday morning. Music and the choir (page-3177654), the outdoor labyrinth (page-3177658, st-francis-labyrinth), and the art and concerts at the-bradford-gallery give people many ways to connect. Fellowship groups include men-of-st-francis and the Daughters of the King (page-3184965). Outreach includes marthas-mission-cupboard and the meals-ministry, and the yearly Lobsterfest (page-3191756) is a beloved Crystal Coast tradition.

This wiki gathers the parish's pages, weekly worship bulletins, announcements, memorial services, and leadership profiles into one place. It is meant to help vacationers, locals, parishioners, and newcomers find their way to Sunday worship, and to stay connected through the monthly newsletter, The Song of St. Francis (page-3177370). We'd love to have you sign up for it.
