Welcome to Holy Innocents!
Holy Innocents is a
small Episcopal Church located in Corte Madera in Marin
County. It is a place where both tradition and
innovation are valued. The heart of our community
lies in worship, which takes place at our 9 am Holy
Eucharist, and special services such as Evensong.
Holy Innocents was established in 1905 and is located on
the historic Old Corte Madera Square. All are welcome to
attend services regardless of their faith background.
Whether you know the Episcopal Church well or are brand new
to Christianity, you are invited to explore your beliefs
with us.

EcoPilgrimage
Sunday, June 16 to Wednesday, June 19
The EcoPilgrimage is a journey of body and spirit, by boat
and by foot, from The Bishop's Ranch to the Pacific Ocean.
Pilgrims and Ranch Staff will explore the varying
ecosystems of Sonoma County, the Russian River and the
watersheds the trip bisects. A chaplain will provide
spiritual guidance and a naturalist offers ecological
background. Meals from the Ranch kitchen will nourish your
body while shared music and stories around the fire will
form new friendships. Expect to walk or paddle for most of
the day, and be prepared to sleep outside or in tents at
night. Appropriate for pilgrims age 15 or older when
accompanied by a parent. Limited space available. Cost of
trip covers food, camping fees and permits, transportation,
boat and equipment rental. Contact Andrea Foote with
questions andrea@bishopsranch.org
