Nourishment for

Body, Mind & Spirit at St. Michael's

We welcome you to join us again this season as we offer you nourishment in the way of inspirational musical presentations, concerts, and speakers. All five senses are invited to take in the beauty of God’s creation as we seek to walk our earthly pilgrimage together. There is no cost for these offerings. All we ask is that you bring a donation of non-perishable food as we continue to support the many hungry people on the islands and in the Fort Myers area.
