Please note that in The Christian Community affiliate communities do not have a priest working full time, however the sacraments are celebrated at a somewhat regular interval by a priest visiting from one of our established communities. Currently, out of this, our Taconic/Berkshire Region Congregation, which is based in Hillsdale, NY, you can see in the above that we regularly visit: Pioneer Valley in MA, Vermont, The Finger Lakes in NY, Camphill Ghent, NY, and Camphill Village Copake, NY.
