From Montana-
Beginning on June 5, the newly established St. Mary’s Episcopal Church will hold services in Butte at 10:45 a.m. each Sunday.
The Rev. John Toles, church rector, will officiate the services, which will be held at the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Utah and Second. The Episcopal church is a member of the Worldwide Anglican Communion.
“We just felt that there was an opportunity to reach a broader audience to have a second (Episcopal) church there,” Toles said.
Toles said that the arrangement to use the St. Joseph Catholic Church for the Episcopal services came through ecumenical cooperation.
“Bishop Thomas of the Roman Catholic Church and Bishop Brookheart of the Episcopal Church discussed it and decided it would be a great opportunity,” he said.
The bishops worked with local priest, the Rev. Bob Hall, to work out the details. Toles, who lives in Anaconda, serves Episcopal congregations in Anaconda, Deer Lodge and Philipsburg. He said he logs 1,500 miles a month commuting between churches. That number will be even higher with his new congregation in Butte.
