What is the Conference?

St. Michael’s Conference is a 7-day gathering where an intentional community of prayer, support, and education helps to form young Christians (12-19 years old) to be witnesses to the world of the Saving Power of Jesus Christ.


Our conference is patterned along the lines of the St. Michael's Conference Midwest and the Eastern Conference, which was begun in 1960.


A unique opportunity for youth.

Through worship, study, discussion, recreation, and relaxation, the community seeks both a clearer vision of God in Christ, and strength and power to fight evil and serve God. For most, it is such a joyful experience that they want it to continue, and many do continue by returning year after year. Michael is a fitting patron saint for the conference, as he symbolizes a strong religion, one where true joy is to be found.


This conference has already borne much fruit in the life of the Church through the lives of those Michaelites (Conference participants) who are active in their respective parishes throughout the Anglican Church. We are committed to making the Conference available to the youth of the Southwestern region of the United States. Our intention is not to do a “new” thing, but to faithfully hand on what has been given to us - the Catholic Faith. Our worship and practice are therefore wholeheartedly Anglo-Catholic, and our teaching orthodox.


“The Conference didn’t just change my life, it redefined it and gave me a true sense of calling, purpose, and vocation.”

— Fr Director

“I didn’t understand the Gospel. I couldn’t forgive myself; and, in turn, I couldn’t forgive others which led to resentment. The pinnacle of the conference is confession; the surrender of my pride. St Michael’s Conference was a huge step from milk to solid food.”
