The purpose of offering the Guest Lecture Series is to invite the public to visit and benefit from St. Philip’s. St. Philip’s was established in 1845 as a chapel of ease (for convenience of parishioners, a type of satellite church, attached to the major church in a parish), razed and rededicated in 1914.The church has many unique features. Features include a 17th century font, more than 35 stained glass windows depicting Biblical scenes and even the bounty of the shore (that includes a large, white chicken). Time-worn, wooden pews, varied activities and a welcoming congregation invite you to this Quantico treasure.
