ALIGNING
WITH THE EPISCOPAL INFO-SESSION
Monday, September 8 | 5 p.m. | Church
The Saint Michael Vestry has taken up and important issue: For many years now, the Diocese of Dallas (our diocese), has not been fully aligned with The Episcopal Church. We are seeking full alignment through a process called Designated Episcopal Pastoral Oversight (DEPO). If you would like to learn more about this process, join our rector Chris Girata at this inperson-only session. Scan the QR code to learn more.
