The Saint Michael's Conference for Children and youth

What is the Saint Michael's Conference?

 The Saint Michael's Conference is a Christian Youth Conference in the High-Church Anglican Tradition proclaiming the ancient Faith of the Apostles once delivered to all the Saints as proclaimed in Holy Scripture. We offer the faith of the ancient Creeds and Councils of the undivided Catholic Church before the disunion of East and West under the authority of the Word of God.  

Who is Saint Michael's Conference Open to?

The Saint Michael's Conference welcomes all children, young adults, and college-aged individuals between the ages of 12-21 interested. We welcome all to learn more about the ancient Church and "the faith once delivered to all the saints" (Jude 1:3).

When and Where is the Conference Held?

This year the St. Michael's Conference will be held June 21 -25 at Antiochian Village

140 Church Camp Trail, Bolivar, Pennsylvania 15923.
