During Holy Week, we walk with Jesus through the last days of his life, from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem to his death upon the cross, until Sunday when we will celebrate, with great joy, the day of his resurrection. Easter is beautiful at The Church of St. Michael & St. George. Thank you for supporting all that goes into making it special!

Thank you for your pledge.

Celebrating Our History, Insuring Our Future
Planned Giving at The Church of St. Michael & St. George: Planned Giving is a term for the number of ways in which parishioners can ensure that their stewardship efforts continue after their death by making a gift to the Endowment Fund. If you care enough about your church to make a faithful annual pledge, contributing to our Endowment Fund should be a natural next step. If you are interested in more information about making a planned gift to CSMSG, please visit our website for more information, or contact the Rector's Office at 314.721.1502.
