Planned Giving

Planned Giving is a wonderful way to ensure your legacy with St. Michael's endures for years to come, and you have the joy and satisfaction of knowing you have contributed to the long-term welfare of St. Michael's Parish. Please read more about Planned Giving and the Legacy Society of St. Michael the Archangel.

Altar Flower Requests

Please note that we are revising our practice for flowers on the altar and ask, if you wish to have flowers for a special event or memorial, that you please read this letter about flower requests, from Martha Olin, Vestry Committee Member, and use this request form for altar flowers.

Thank you!
