Celebrate with Us

Please join us to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Christ Church’s consecration. Dignitaries from around Berks County are due to attend, with brief remarks expected from Mayor Eddie Moran and the Rt. Rev. Gutiérrez, Bishop of Pennsylvania.

Following the ceremony, the Berks Youth Chorus will welcome attendees into the church for a catered reception with music by Dave Cullen and desserts donated by Sweet Street.


Historical information and building tours will be available during this time.

We are exhuming a time capsule

In 1863, Christ Church's famed brownstone steeple was erected and, in the cornerstone, a time capsule was interred. This May, historic craftsmen Restoration Artisans will disinter this piece of history.

Did you know that Christ Church was the first English-speaking church in Reading? That one of our founding members was a delegate at the Continental Congress? That our building was once a Cathedral?
