Episcopal Church Women

This organization has been in existence since 1858, though it has gone through many name changes. The organization has been known as the Episcopal Church Women since 1976, and currently has approximately 30 active members. This group of women meets four times each year- in March, May, October, and December- for lunch and program. The meetings provide a venue for fellowship, education, and service. Through the generosity of our predecessors, the ECW is blessed with endowments that we use to help others in our parish, community, diocese, nation and world.

Among the organizations supported have been: Grace Episcopal Church Clergy Discretionary Fund, Grace Episcopal Church Restoration Fund, Grace After School and Summer Program, South Coast Mission Hub Life Together Intern Program, Laundry Love, South Coast Breast Imaging Center, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth SHARE (Society for Human Advancement through Rehabilitative Engineering) Foundation, Inc., Humane Society and Shelter South Coast, The Neediest Families Fund, Shriners’ Burn Unit, Rosebud Episcopal Mission, Society of St. Margaret for work in Haiti, and Episcopal Relief and Development- Gifts of Life to purchase two goats and one flock of chickens.
