Healing Prayer at St. Michael's

The Healing Ministry at St. Michael’s Church
The healing ministry at St. Michael’s Church was started and continually encouraged by the Rector. The ministry has grown through the guidance and leadership of his Assistant for Pastoral Care. It has been an integral part of the life and mission of the church since 1986. All of the clergy are actively involved and supported by a team of about seventy prayer ministers.
