Help Us Restore Our Steeple!
In restoring our historic steeple, we care for a defining presence in our town’s common life, preserving a visible sign of Rockport’s story for generations yet to come.
Our historic 1873 steeple stands along the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway running through Rockport along Route 127 and the beautiful Atlantic coastal waterway stretching along the shores of Cape Ann. Time and our rough New England weather have taken their toll, and critical renovations are now needed to protect this beloved landmark for future generations. Restoring our steeple to its historic charm will preserve the scenic beauty of our iconic New England town from both land and sea.
Rockport has benefited from the recent restoration of other church steeples in town through Community Preservation grants. Investing Community Preservation funds to restore this historic steeple will ensure that this landmark also continues to contribute to the sense of place that makes our town so beloved.
We are grateful to report that the residents of Rockport voted to appropriate Community Preservation funds to ensure this essential preservation project can move forward.
Thank you for your support!
The church is still responsible for furnishing a portion of the costs. Let us know if you would like to contribute in any way.
We look forward to restoring our historic steeple so that it may once again contribute to the beauty and character of our town.
