St. Michael's Church

Our parish youth choirs are very active and involve children from outside the parish.  They sing regularly in the Sunday service, and also give concerts several times a year.  many of the children from the choir, as well as others, have been involved in a youth opera in recent years, and there was a choir tour two years ago.

Hours of operation:

Wednesday afternoon, Sunday morning

There is a mobile medical clinic from Bowery Residents' Committee available onsite to guests of our Saturday Kitchen.

This committee works on various issues, primarily by providing educational opportunities for parishioners and others, but sometimes with direct advocacy.  Our task force on Palestine/Israel has sponsored the Tree of Life Conference for two years, and also promoted solidarity trips to Palestine.

We serve a hot, nutritious meal every Saturday of the year, feeding about 200 men, women, and children.  Many, but not all, of them come from our neighborhood.  We are staffed entirely by volunteers; some are parishioners and some come from the community.

Hours of operation:

Saturday 10-11:30 a.m.

We are a staging area for meal delivery by God's Love We Deliver, and their volunteers are here every Monday organizing food.

Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.

Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
