From 1888 until 2014 St. Agnes was its own Episcopal Parish but in November of that year it officially merged with St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church to form an entirely new parish: All Saints Episcopal Church.[1] All Saints is one congregation making use of two buildings: St. Agnes Chapel and St. Cyprian's Chapel. They use their website and Facebook to publish their worship schedule and keep parishioners and visitors up to date on where worship will be each Sunday.[2]

Built in 1888, it was designed by architect William Gould Bulgin. The Rev. John A.
