St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Warwick marked its 400th anniversary with a special Rededication Service on Sunday [October 4], bringing together clergy, parishioners and guests to celebrate four centuries of the church’s history and enduring role in Bermuda’s spiritual and community life.
A number of VIPs attended the event, including Governor Andrew Murdoch, Premier David Burt, Opposition Leader Ben Smith, Deputy Premier Zane DeSilva and numerous other MPs and senior officials, and the event also included the Bermuda Regiment Band and the Warwick Gombeys.
A spokesperson previously said, “The service will be led by The Reverend Carl Williams, Priest-in-Charge of St. Mary’s, and will feature as guest preacher His Grace, The Most Reverend Philip Wright, Archbishop of the Province of the West Indies, Primate, Metropolitan and Bishop of Belize. Archbishop Wright will be accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Carla Suite Wright, during their visit to Bermuda.
“Founded in 1626, St. Mary’s Anglican Church has played a significant role in the spiritual, cultural and social life of Bermuda for four centuries. The anniversary provides an opportunity to celebrate the church’s enduring witness while reflecting on its rich and complex history.”
