Welcome Back Students!

The University of Mary Washington Canterbury Club is a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia and Trinity Episcopal Church in Fredericksburg, Virginia.  The mission of the Canterbury Club is to offer a space for students, faculty, and employees of the University of Mary Washington to rest, study, worship, have fun, serve, and grow in faith.  Some of us are jEpiscopalians/Anglicans, but others come from a variety of denominational and faith backgrounds.  We are male and female, straight and gay, conservative and progressive (and in between).  Some of us are well established in our beliefs, and others are questioning their faith.  All of us are part of a loving and supportive community of disciples who are helping each other follow the Way of Jesus, who calls us to a life of radical hospitality by loving God, loving one another, and loving ourselves.

Our Canterbury House was blessed by the Rt. Rev. David Jones, Suffragan Bishop of Virginia, on September 13, 2008.  Click here to know more about it (and watch a video of the blessing service), or here, to know about the Prince of Peace Episcopal Chapel.
