Emmanuel Church was founded in 1860 as part of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. Emmanuel's Main Sanctuary was the first building completed on Newbury Street in Boston's newly filled Back Bay. The Leslie Lindsey Memorial Chapel, consecrated in 1924, is considered one of the architectural gems of Boston.

The famous Church that inspired The New John Hancock Building to be reflective-- to not block/overwelm the church's great architecture. Always a stop on any Boston Tour, The Trinity church/landmark sits in the city of Copley Square in the Back Bay. It is considered one of the most significant works by architect Henry Hobson Richardson. John La Farge oversaw the interior painted decoration and executed most of the figure paintings and murals, and a number of the stained glass windows. Trinity also has a unique collection of stained-glass windows, representing a variety of methods and materials. Details of the church's architectural and fine arts are available through Visitor's Programs, which include regular tours and The Shop at Trinity. Worship services are held Sundays all year, and midweek services are held September through June (check website for schedule). Trinity is an Episcopal Church within the Anglican Communion (Church of England), with approximately 2500 member households. Services are Sunday at 7:45am, 9am, 11:15am, and 6pm.
