St. Giles is an inclusive, affirming parish.
All are welcome at our services.

9 a.m. Sunday Service: Holy Eucharist (Rite II) Choral Service with The Saint Giles Singers.
Sunday School (using the "Godly Play" curriculum) is also at 9 a.m.

Saint Giles is a parish without walls of our own, celebrating the Holy Eucharist in the beautiful chapel of Saint Mary’s College of California. Saint Giles Parish exists to provide an Anglican spiritual community dedicated to nourishing individual ministry and witnessing to the ecumenical and universal dimensions of the Gospel. We provide community, pastoral care, education, and fine liturgy for our members, and we reach out in service and hospitality beyond our parish family.

Below is a calendar listing services and other events in the life of our parish. Details about next Sunday's liturgy can be found by clicking on the link titled "This Sunday," in the left hand column of this page. There you will find a listing of the Scripture readings appointed by the Revised Common Lectionary, hymns, service music, and musical offerings by the parish musicians.

Prayer for a Spirit of Reconciliation

Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
    where there is injury, pardon;
    where there is discord, union;
    where there is doubt, faith;
    where there is despair, hope;
    where there is darkness, light;
    where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
    to be understood as to understand;
    to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
    it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
    and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
(Attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi)
