We are a small Episcopal Church on the banks of the Rappahannock in Port Royal, Virginia. We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional land of the first people of Port Royal, the Nandtaughtacund, and we respect and honor with gratitude the land itself, the legacy of the ancestors, and the life of the Rappahannock Tribe. Our mission statement is to do God’s Will in all that we do.

What’s Happening with the Nursery ?

 Lifting the Nursery Roof(full size gallery)

In 1965, Rector Fall reconstructed the old outdoor kitchen behind the Rectory and converted it into a one-room structure with wood-stove piped into the chimney. This became the art studio of Mrs. Fall and is now our nursery building. Originally there was a shed there.

The first of upgrades – a new roof during the week of Dec. 16, 2019. The work on the roof was donated. It was expected that the outside would be renovated. However, the outside was in worse shape than expected.

On February 5, 2020 the walls of the building had to be torn down due to old termite damage that had dangerously weakened the wooden walls. The back wall had completely rotted away.

The new roof has been saved and the Vestry will determine next steps in the repair.
