About Saints Matthew and Mark Church
The current church body is a blend resulting from the merger of three congregations: St. Matthew’s of Barrington, St. Mark’s of Warren, and St. Mark’s of Riverside. In order to carry out the work that God has called us to, and in fellowship and communion with our neighbors, we have grown into a strong, vital community that gathers to celebrate God’s love.
St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church was founded in 1891 as St. Matthew's Chapel, a mission of St. John’s, Barrington, to serve the mill workers of Barrington Lace Works. This small mission chapel thrived in the Alfred Drown neighborhood of West Barrington. The chapel was consecrated on St. Matthew's Day in 1911. St. Matthew’s endured many struggles – including a brief closure during World War I due to a furnace failure and fuel shortage. In 1924, St. Matthew's ceased to be a mission of St. John's and became a mission church of the Diocese of Rhode Island, finally achieving full-parish status in 1959.
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in nearby Warren was founded in 1828, originally as a mission parish of St. Michael’s, Bristol. Its historic building, designed by architect Russell Warren, still stands at 15 Linden Street. When St. Mark’s closed in May 2010, a small group of parishioners found a welcome home at St. Matthew’s.
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Riverside, was founded in 1880, originally as a mission of St. John’s, Barrington. After being rebuilt in the early 1960s, the building was destroyed by a fire in 1965. Thanks to the tenacity of a strong community, the church was rebuilt again; this building still stands at 10 Turner Avenue, Riverside. Due to some financial hardships, the congregation voted to merge with St. Matthew’s in 2012.

Our Patron Saints
Saints Matthew and Mark are traditionally identified as the authors of the first two books in the New Testament: the Gospel of Saint Matthew and the Gospel of Saint Mark. For this reason, they both have the title “Evangelist.”
One of the Twelve Apostles, Saint Matthew turned away from his former life as a tax collector in Capernaum in response to Jesus’ call to follow him. By ancient Church tradition, he died as a martyr in Ethiopia. His feast day is September 21st.
Saint Mark was not an Apostle but is mentioned as a missionary companion of Saints Paul and Barnabas in the New Testament. According to tradition he became the first bishop of Alexandria in Egypt, where he died as a martyr. His feast day is April 25th.
