The children of Colorado Springs need you!

Schools all over our city count on us to help their students with hats, gloves, scarves and mittens during the cold months of the year.

Fall is here and they need our help for their little ones, and not so little ones. Family-assistance organizations, many of whom St. Michael's supports, also receive items and quickly pass them on to families.

Please help us meet the need from the north end of our city, to the south, by decorating our trees in the Gathering Area with your gifts of love.

Kairos and Spiritual Journey (formerly Epiphany) volunteers are finally allowed back inside the correctional facilities after 1 ½ years of isolation! We have returned for weekly Prayer and Share as well as the monthly Reunions that encourage those in prison to keep following their walk with Christ. These two ministries are an opportunity for those of us privileged to live in freedom to be the Church inside the prison and encourage the incarcerated to choose to Live in Christ, loved and forgiven. As we rebuild our presence inside the facilities, we will prepare to hold the 4-day weekends that draw new participants into the family of God in 2022. Volunteers from St. Michael's serve in Territorial Correctional Facility, Denver Women’s Correctional Facility, LaVista Women’s Correctional Facility, and the Youthful Offender System prison in Pueblo.
