Northwest Region

< Back to Regions

The Northwest Region, consisting of 26 parishes, along with the diocesan retreat center of Camp Washington and a summer chapel, Transfiguration, has churches throughout Litchfield, Fairfield, and New Haven County. The Northwest Region, led by a committed group of leaders in the parishes and on the Region Leadership Team, join together often to serve the needs of those living in the area. Since the inception of the Regions, the Northwest has focused on many collaborative ministries. These include bringing lay preachers together for training and fellowship, parish musicians to collaborate, environmental awareness, and opportunities for all to come and pray together. Addressing food insecurity may have become the most notable collection of ministries to result during the Pandemic. The Region as a whole collaborated in creating new programs, relying on home kitchens as well as Camp Washington to serve thousands of meals to neighbors in our communities. The Northwest Region continues to live into God’s Mission as part of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut.
