Outreach

The Outreach Committee functions within our parish to research and maintain the integrity of parish contributions to outside organizations. St. Michael's donates money to about thirty local and international agencies. Each year a percentage of the pledged money commited to St. Michael’s budget is designated for outreach efforts by the vestry. While there are small contributions specifically designated for outreach or to a particular need or agency, the annual parish outreach commitment of approximately $120,000 is made through our pledged income to St. Michael's. These church funds are essential for many of the Episcopal and outside agencies to continue and maintain their critically needed ministries.
