History

Episcopal services service in Norwood began in the local Presbyterian Church about 1870. Norwood was a weekend and vacation resort for New Yorkers at the time, and the parish served these visitors throughout much of its history.

Land for the church was donated Mr. and Mrs. George W Luckey. Construction began in 1876 and was completed in 1877. This building was destroyed by fire on November 6. 1886. Following the original plans, a new building, costing $8,229.69, was completed in 1888. A Carrara marble altar and a Tiffany window depicting the Resurrection were donated by the William H. Oakley family. An organ built by the J.H. & C.S. Odell Organ Builders was donated by the Suydam family. [4]

A parish hall was built in 1930 and an education building in 1969. From 1980 to 1987 the church shared a rector and administrative services with nearby St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Harrington Park. [4]
