Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church, Worcester

Situated near Holy Cross, on Southbridge Street, Saint Matthew's Episcopal Church was founded by English immigrants. The opening service was held in 1871 in the wooden chapel. About twenty years later the worship house was destroyed by a fire. Highlighting Romanesque motifs, the new beautiful church was designed by the prominent local architect Stephen C. Earle in Gothic revival style. Saint Matthew's Episcopal church remains one of Worcester's worship places that keeps its doors open to anyone who wants to join in the community.
