The parish banner was made by the Sisters of Bethany and dedicated at the church in 1958. Until that year, the church in Sea Girt was the only Anglican house of worship dedicated to the Archangel Uriel.[5] It remains the only Episcopal church in the United States named after Saint Uriel the Archangel.
