This Episcopal church is a hidden treasure. The parish owns no property, and yet they worship in the most beautiful chapel in the area--the chapel at St. Mary's College of California in Moraga. Their relationship with the Catholic Christian Brothers at the college is perhaps their greatest strength. There are no signs directing you to St. Giles, the Town of Moraga prohibits church signs, but this church is worth doing a little wandering to find. I have been a member since 2002 when I came to St. Giles from a church-in-crisis in Concord. I live in Concord. If anyone had told me five years ago that I would get up on Sunday morning at 7:00 to drive 15 miles to attend church at 9:00, I would have told him or her that he or she was crazy. The people were so friendly and accepting. The rector's sermon that first Sunday seemed to have been written specifically for me. Everyone is affirmed regardless of socio-economic level, political persuasion, or lifepath. Please come and join us! We are waiting for you.
Pros: Wonderful people, great chapel and surroundings, small parish
