Who we are
We are an inclusive Episcopal congregation open and welcoming to all regardless of age, race, finances, ability or orientation. We invite and encourage all who are seeking a deeper and more meaningful spiritual life to worship and learn with us.
We honor and respect the traditions of our liturgy. The liturgy is an integral part of our worship. But we are open to thoughtful adaptation of the liturgy, especially when the result is increased inclusion. Parishioners are welcome to question the liturgy while still taking part in it.
We like to be challenged. We are inspired by preachers and guests who open our eyes to new ways of seeing and thinking about things, whether it be a gospel passage or the world around us.
We love music and art and the way God is made known through creative works.
St. Saviour’s is located on a campus of large, historic buildings constructed primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with generous gifts from members of the Bar Harbor summer colony.
Worship services are generally held in the ornate main church or the more intimate Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin. In winter, weekday services are usually offered in the Rectory Common Library, which is easier to heat.
The summer community remains a vital part of our Parish life, but over the decades, the year-round community has become an integral part of the community. We worship together as one.
Our campus includes:
the main church (1876-1901), including the Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin (1899)
an attached Parish Hall, where we hold coffee hour and annual meetings, as well as host a wide variety of community functions
a Memorial Garden
the Rectory Common, renovated in the early 2000’s, which also hosts community functions, parish library, as well as staff offices and the Rector’s residence
The Parish House, operated by Local Solutions of Maine as a residence for adults with cognitive disabilities.

Leader Bio:
The Reverend Tracy Shaffer, our current deacon, was called to ordained ministry as a member of St. Dunstan’s Ellsworth, in 2015 and entered the formal diocesan discernment process in 2018. As part of her preparation, she completed a two-year cohort learning experience with the Province One School for Deacons, graduating in December of 2020.
Tracy has been a resident of Ellsworth since 2013. She built a retirement home in Maine after retiring from Verizon and its predecessor companies after a career of over 25 years. She decided on this area because of its proximity to her mother as well as to a family camp on Gouldsboro Bay.
A key interest in her retirement - or next chapter - was and is community service. With that in mind, a call to the diaconate seems to be a natural fit and a response to a sense of call discerned much earlier in her life to ordained service.
Tracy is single, remains an active Rotarian after serving as President of The Ellsworth Rotary Club in 2018-19, enjoys engaging in community service including Everybody Eats! Free Community Meal, likes to dine out with friends (pre-COVID) and spend time at camp.
