The Rector's Space
Announcing our New Associate Rector
I am very excited to share with you that The Rev. J. Antonio Álvarez (Padre Toni) has accepted my invitation to join us at St. Michael’s as Associate Rector for Latino Ministry and Formation. Padre Toni currently serves as Priest-in-charge of St. Francis Episcopal Church in Turlock, California. A child of Mexican immigrants and a native of the San Joaquin Valley of California, he is a bilingual and bicultural person and priest.
Music Update
At St. Michael’s on Sunday, June 22, we’re commemorating Juneteenth with inclusive hymns such as “All are welcome” and “Let streams of living justice flow down upon the earth.” Thanks again to Bob Spiers for substituting as organist while Hannah is away.
Summertime Fun for Kids
Summertime fun is happening on Sundays in the church courtyard at 10:00 am through the month of June, and after morning worship in July and August too! Stop by and enjoy a summer treat, play games with friends and soak up the beautiful summer weather! Children’s Liturgy of the Word will continue at the 9:00 and 11:00 am services through June, and at the 10:00 am service in July and August.
Advocacy Action Opportunity
Instead of a table with letters to sign, this week, Advocacy Action is requesting members of St. Michael’s to email the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) asking them to deny Zenith Energy’s air-quality permit. Zenith Energy operates an oil-processing and storage facility on the banks of the Willamette River in NW Portland.
Pentecost Liturgy & Potluck in the Park
This year, on Sunday, June 8, we’re going to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost at the park! It will be at the same location as last year—Wilshire Park, Picnic Area C (look for the shelter and decorated tables), in NE Portland—at 11:00 am, rain or shine (or heat!).
