St. Michael's commitment to
Outreach & Social Justice
"Individuals can resist injustice, but only in community can we do justice"
--Jim Corbett, founder of the sanctuary movement
Casa San Miguel
Food Pantry
Casa San Miguel, our Food Pantry, serves approximately 500 households per month. The success of this ministry is reflected in the continued support by the church at large, our partnership with Roadrunner Food Bank, and an authentic desire to know and be in relationship with the people being served. It has been one of the core ministries of St. Michael's since 1997.
Dismas House
Did you know SMAA has been providing a monthly meal at DISMAS House for over 30 years. DISMAS House is a transitional half house for men recently released from prison. This ministry needs dedicate volunteers to help provide a home cooked meal. Once a month, we share a meal with the residents and staff, have great conversations and provide encouragement to the residents on their journey back into society. On a rotating basis volunteers provide either a main dish, side dish, salad and bread, or dessert. Special theme dinners are held for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and summer barbeques.
The DIMAS Compound is located 701 Candelaria NW. The monthly dinners are held on the second Monday of every month, arrival is at 5:55 in the afternoon and generally depart around 6:45.
​
DISMAS also accepts men's clothing donations.
If interested or haver any questions, please the office and we'll put you in touch with the leaders of Dismas.
We support outreach ministries such as Episcopal Relief and Development, the United Thank Offering, the Borderlands Ministries of the Diocese of the Rio Grande, and others.
