About Us

The Parish of Calvary-St. George's is a part of the Episcopal Church of the Anglican Communion in the United States. The church was organized shortly after the American Revolution when it was forced to separate from the Church of England, as Church of England clergy were required to swear allegiance to the British monarch.

Calvary-St. George’s is a member of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, a diocese that includes Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island in New York City, and the New York state counties of Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Sullivan, and Ulster.
 
The diocese offices are located in Manhattan near the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine on Amsterdam Avenue. Our bishop is the Right Reverend Mark S. Sisk, 15th Bishop of New York, assisted by the Right Reverend Catherine S. Roskam, Bishop Suffragan, the Right Reverend E. Don Taylor, Vicar Bishop for New York City, and the Very Reverend James A. Kowalski, dean of the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine.
