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.

Special Monthly Mass of Healing Now Offered
Monthly Mass of Healing Announced
On most Wednesdays, members and friends of our church family gather for The Celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 6:00 p.m., and Bible Study at 6:30 p.m. HOWEVER: On the Wednesdays listed below a special Mass of Healing will be held. When the Mass of Healing is offered once monthly, the 6:30 p.m. Bible Study is canceled, but resumes the following week.
While we all need God's healing, His holy Word, and the Sacrament of our Lord's Body and Blood, how blessed and beautiful it would be for many members and friends of our church family to come monthly to this special Mass of Healing, and to pray for one another! Some are in need of healing from a broken heart, others from addiction, others from spiritual attack, others abuse, others from deep wounds that may go back decades, others unforgiveness, and much more. While we don't always know what our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus are going through, we can come and pray for one another, worship the Lord, and call upon His Name. We can kneel alongside one another at the Cross of Jesus, and allow His Blood to deliver us from all that ails us.

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38 ESV
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17 ESV
