St. Mary's Episcopal Church (Phoenix)

Several supply priests served the growing mission parish until the first vicar, the Reverend Rodney Cobb, arrived in December 1957.

By 1958, the church had reached 150 parishioners and had purchased farmland property to provide ecclesiastical, office, and school facilities.

St. Mary's Manor, an adjacent retirement facility, opened in April 1993 and accommodates forty people in individual apartments.

On August 2, 2014, an accidental structural fire in the Hispanic Ministries office destroyed or damaged many parts of the building and forced the congregation outside.

The altar crucifix was hand-carved in Oberammergau, Germany, and the church bell is from El Buen Samaritano, after that mission closed its doors in 1960.
