Light The Steeple

The Pilgrim Church Steeple and its light is the Harwich Port landmark for both the community and mariners on Nantucket Sound.

Members and friends are invited to join the tradition of "Lighting the Steeple" for birthdays, special occasions, or in memory of loved ones. Listings are included in the Sunday church bulletins.

Please call the church office at 508-432-1668 to light the steeple for a donation of $5.00 a night.

Church member, Priscilla Hiscox is the originator and coordinator of this project. Marion Marsh continues with this important campaign.

Lighting the Pilgrim Church Steeple was originally funded in memory of Charles Detwiller, Jr. by his family. William D. Hacker perpetually endows its maintenance in memory of his wife, Barbara Lang Hacker, who loved Harwich and its waters.

I am come a light into the world,
That whosoever believeth on me
Should not abide in darkness.
John 12:46
