Plan Your Visit →The Memorial Church of the Good Shepherd is a diverse Episcopal community of faith in East Falls, serving northwest Philadelphia in the Diocese of Pennsylvania. We gather to be nourished by word and sacrament for the grace we need to live out our baptismal calling in everyday life. Wherever you find yourself on the journey of life, know that you are welcome here.
Our Faith
We are a community of faith that gathers to be nourished by word and sacrament — celebrating Holy Communion (Rite II) every Sunday as the center of our worship.
Worship in the Episcopal tradition is communal; even the word liturgy means the work of the people. Shaped by the Book of Common Prayer, the whole congregation shares the prayers, readings, and Eucharist together.
The grace we receive in worship is given so that we can live out our baptismal calling in everyday life — loving God and serving our neighbors in East Falls and beyond.
Wherever you find yourself on the journey of life, you are welcome here. As a diverse Episcopal parish, we make room for questions, for doubt, and for every person seeking God.
Following Christ the Good Shepherd, we put faith into action — actively supporting Episcopal Community Services (ECS) and the wider mission of the Diocese of Pennsylvania.
