For the past sixteen years, Saint Matthias Church has been the site of The Roycroft Chamber Music Festival. For two weekends in June, the Festival brings chamber musicians from all over the US to East Aurora for four evenings of wonderful music. The concerts for the seventeenth season in 2010 were held on June 5, 6, 12 & 13.
We are a congregation of The Episcopal Diocese of Western New York. As a Diocese we are "One Church Embracing and Living Into the Dream of God."
The Diocese of Western New York is a diocese of Province II of The Episcopal Church. Episcopalians are often called Anglicans, because of our ties with the The Church of England. As Anglicans we are members of the worldwide Anglican Communion . There are Anglican Churches in 164 nations.
