Celebrating long term faithful parishioner,
Arthur Downes!
July 26th, 2022 Charles Arthur Downes, on behalf of the Downes Family was recognized by the City of Toronto for the incredible contributions that he and his family have made throughout several decades. Arthur, a retired Justice of the Peace, recipient of Ontario Black History Association Life Time achievement award, was nominated to have a street named in honor of his family. Some of the church members were present at the ceremony which was held on the newly named street. Downes street runs in between Lakeshore Blvd and Queens Quay - running east to west - currently at Cooper street - BUT when the buildings in the way are taken down for further development it will run all the way to Yonge Street!
THANK YOU ARTHUR and the Downes family for all you have done for this city!

St Michaels has many members from all around the world. Covid and our zoom presence has brought us closer to one another. One such person is Saba. Saba and her sister and mother are Iranian refugees, currently settling in Spain. They are very dear to the St. Michael and All Angels community and we hope and pray that one day, when they are secure in their Spanish citizenship, that we will be able to host them here as our guests. June 14th we recognized international refugees around the world through our Sunday services and were delighted to have Saba share prayers written from her heart and experience during the sermon. We want to share them with you. Saba has given permission for you to share them widely or use them for your personal or parish/synagogue/mosque/ashram prayer life.
Thank you Saba.

Concerning the exposure of the Kamloops Residential School mass grave
To read Pastor Jenni's address on Marieval Residential School from Sunday June 27, click HERE
This note was written in response to the exposure of the graves of Indigenous children at the Kamloops residential school in early June 2021. As these horrible discoveries and exposures of the truth of these schools continue to unfold, our statement is extended to include all Indigenous communities and families being impacted ongoing, including but not limited to the Cowessess Nation in Saskatchewan, who are grappling with the excavation of 751 unmarked graves at Marieval Residentail School. Our love, prayers, and deepest condolences are extended to all impacted.
Dear Community:
We at St Michael and All Angels Church want to acknowledge and speak from our hearts to the tragedy of discovering 215 Indigenous childrens' bodies in the ground of an Indian Residential School in Kamloops, BC. This tragedy, horror, and disgusting practice of negating the humanity of Indigenous people and children is sickening and heart breaking.
We as a country and as a people cannot heal until we take responsibility for the harm that we as settlers have committed.
The Anglican church was a participant in running residential schools. We have worked hard to acknowledge, learn of and make reparations borne out of our failure, but there is still work to be done.
We pray for deep healing for the Indigenous community, for the community of Canada as a whole, for all those deeply affected by the news of this exposure, and for the grief and trauma caused by the residential school system.
If you, like so many of us, are struggling with this news and how it impacts your faith and faith practices, or with having conversations about this with children or family, please feel free to reach out to us. Our clergy are available for pastoral care.
