Learn More About Clarke Parish

Welcome to Clarke Parish and our website. On behalf of the congregations that make up Clarke Parish – Grace and St. Mary’s Episcopal Churches in Berryville, Virginia – I would like to extend a warm welcome. We hope that this website will entice you to want to find out more about us. We worship at 8, 9:15 & 11:15 am. in the winter and 9 & 10:15 a.m. in the summer. Please do come and worship with us and give us a chance to get to know you and you to get to know us.

We seek to provide a beacon of light to the people of Berryville and the surrounding communities. If you are a member of the Episcopal Church, one of the member churches of the Anglican Communion, or are just looking for a friendly, Christ-centered church home, please consider us in your quest to find a church.

I am also available to chat, tell you about the church, and discuss baptisms, weddings, and funerals.
