The Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts is a regional governing body within The Episcopal Church, established in 1784 as one of the church’s original dioceses after the American Revolution. Based in Boston, it supports more than 170 worshipping communities and a network of affiliated groups, including Episcopal schools, hospital chaplaincies, monastic communities, and other organizations, serving about 40,000 Episcopalians. The diocese aims to foster sustainable, diverse, faithful, and justice-oriented worshipping communities, anchored by five core values: Welcome, Courage, Justice, Joy, and Love. A notable development in 2026 involved a collaboration with the Spencer Preservation Group to restore and rehabilitate a chapel in Roxbury, led in partnership with Historic Boston Inc. The organization operates as a mid-sized religious institution focused on sustaining congregations and affiliated ministries across the region.
