Heritage Days at St. Gabriel's Episcopal ChurchSt. Gabriel's Episcopal Church celebrated the 125th anniversary of the first worship service in our historic building on May 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2013.
Then on Saturday, we will begin our next 125 years with a ribbon cutting with the Mayor Tulley and other local clergy and dignitaries. Afterwards, couples who were married in this beautiful church may reaffirm their wedding vows inside the church. The afternoon will be filled with live music from the period, rides in antique cars, children's activities, vendors, a tour of the historic district, and displays of local artifacts from the 19th century. At 7:00pm - the Celery City String Band (their website) will perform - bring your dancing shoes. Sunday afternoon we'll pay tribute to the music of our heritage with performances by choirs of other historic churches in our area. It will be an extraordinary and joyous celebration. We will have an ice cream social. Please join us. All are welcome.

St. Gabriel's Episcopal ChurchAn outstanding example of the neo-Gothic architectural style, St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church was built in 1888, on land donated by J. Dunlin Parkinson, a lay reader for the mission, and by Mary E. Titus, the wife of Colonel Henry Titus, who is credited with founding Titusville. The board and batten wood frame building was dedicated on May 31, 1888, as St. John's Church. Later that year, when the congregation learned that memorial windows were being donated, one of which was to picture St. Gabriel, the name was changed to St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church.All the stained glass windows in the church, with the exception of St. Luke, were made in England and finished in New York at either Lamb and Tiffany's or Gorham's, Fifth Avenue. The windows are considered to be one of the finest collections of Victorian stained glass on the East Coast. The building was remodeled and extended in 1962 to its present configuration. Originally seated for one hundred, the enlarged church building now seats more than two hundred. St. Gabriel's was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1973. The bell in the bell tower was donated by the ladies in the church in 1892, and is said to be the largest bell in Brevard County. In 1992, the congregation, with the assistance of a state grant and community support, generously donated money for a major restoration project to replace support beams, to reroof and repaint the church. |
