Christ Church (New Haven)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christ Church is an Episcopalian parish in New Haven, Connecticut. Christ Church follows an Anglo-Catholic style of worship but also has a strong focus on social causes. The parish began as an offshoot from New Haven's Trinity Church, the central episcopal church on New Haven's town green.
The church building is notable for its very fine Gothic architecture and its central location near downtown New Haven makes it something of a landmark. Its stone tower is modeled on the tower of Magdalen College, Oxford.
The church's Solemn High Mass (11:00am September - April, 10:00am May-early September) is locally notable for its fine choral music and beautiful liturgy. Compline, sung at 10:00pm September - May, draws a large crowd of both young and old from the city of New Haven and Surrounding communities.
