About Us

St. Mary the Virgin is a member parish of the Diocese of the Pacific and Southwest, Holy Catholic Church, Anglican Rite. Services are celebrated according to the American edition of the Anglican Missal and the 1928 American edition of The Book of Common Prayer. We use the Hymnal 1940 and the King James Version of the Holy Bible.

We have a weekly Sunday School program for 4-10 year olds, as well as an ongoing adult education program and Bible study.

As members of the Diocese of the Pacific and Southwest, the congregation of St. Mary the Virgin supports the operations and missions of the Diocese as well as Holy Cross Seminary in Hereford, Arizona. Our church supports FISH of West Valley with ongoing donations of nonperishable food items. We also support various charitable organizations including Doctors Without Borders.

Since 1981, our church home has been the historic Pioneer Church, located in beautiful Oakwood Memorial Park at the intersection of Valley Circle and Lassen in Chatsworth. (MapQuest directions) From the park entrance, continue on the main road up the hill. The church will be on your right as you near the back of the park.
