Westside
Wednesdays (Sept. - May)
‘Westside Wednesdays’ is St. Michael’s prime mid-week gathering time.
From 3:45pm when our outstanding children’s choirs begin rehearsing
until 9pm when the last ‘Amen’ of Compline blends with the tower bells’
final peal of the evening, the Parish House is alive with activity!
Bistro St. Michel
The Bistro begins serving dinner at 6pm and continues
until at least 7:30pm, enabling downtown workers to join their families
and friends at candle-lit tables for unhurried dining and conversation.
One of Bistro’s most important missions is to provide a comfortable and
inviting place for you to bring your friends and neighbors for a meal
and an introduction to St. Michael’s. Our chef, Ray Luetters, prepares a
delicious meal for your enjoyment every Wednesday ($8 for adults, $4 for
children under 12, and free for children under 5. Beer and wine are also
available for $2 per glass.).
