Guests will be able to bid on a chic vacation getaway in Havana and donate to provide a much-needed water filtration system and medical supplies in Holguin, Cuba.
Christ Church Greenwich has a companion parish, San Marcos, in Holguin. Their last mission trip was two years ago. After that trip, Christ Church helped them purchase a building for San Marcos Church, which was previously located in a family’s home. They will now be able to have more than one Sunday Eucharist. After the Noche Cubana celebration, ten people from Christ Church will be going to Cuba in November, bringing medical supplies and a water filtration system for people in Holguin to be able to fill containers with clean, safe water – difficult to find in Cuba.

Christ Church is a lively community of faith composed of people with diverse backgrounds, circumstances, and spiritual journeys, bound together by God’s love for all people everywhere and united in the common mission to seek and serve God in all persons. We fulfill this work through the dedicated ministries of over 300 volunteers annually, who serve on more than 40 commissions, committees, guilds and task forces. In addition, the church hosts and supports more than 20 community meetings per week including 12-step programs, choral and music groups, neighborhood groups, and children’s programs. The Christ Church Preschool is a regional leader in early education, and our bookstore, Dogwood Gifts and Books, is a thriving resource of both faith-based and secular books. Their 40-year partnership with Neighbor to Neighbor allows them to serve those in Greenwich who are in need of food.
The Mission of Christ Church Greenwich is to be a vibrant Episcopal community proclaiming God’s love for every human being, no exceptions. Following Jesus’ teachings is their compass for personal growth, community outreach and harmonious living. Its vision is to seek and serve God in all people through inspiration from the Bible, worship, community outreach, music, and art in our sacred historic home.
