Summer Message from the Incumbent
Rev. Elizabeth Sipos
After a long winter, summer is finally arriving. The days are getting longer, flowers are being planted, and camps are reopening for the season. It is a season in which we life abounds. God's creation is truly a wonder - from the powerful gales on Lake Superior to the delicate wildflowers scattered about the Canadian Shield.
Many continue the yearly rhythm of our childhood, that is we had summer vacation. This pattern echoes into our church program year. Things are winding down. We are pausing our livestreaming, bible studies pause until September, some committees will recess for the summer, and it will be a little more informal. But we continue to gather at our regular worship times for prayer, worship, and Holy Communion. We continue to gather as church (remembering that the church is the people of God and not the building). The church also continues it's daily operations.
My prayer is that where ever you are this summer, you will take time to commune with God. If you find yourself away from community, there many guided and structured prayers that you can use.
Please see a special message on the Donate page on this website.
May God bless you all as you rest in God's creation.
In Christ's Service,
Rev. Elizabeth
A Letter from the Archbishop
11th Sunday after Pentecost
August 9th, 2026
“The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart.” Romans 10:8
Dear people of God at St. Michael and All Angels,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I am writing to share some important news regarding the ministry of the Reverend Elizabeth Sipos. After a time of prayerful discernment, Rev. Elizabeth has accepted an appointment to serve as the Interim Incumbent at St. Luke’s Cathedral for a two-year term. Her appointment at St. Luke’s is effective October 15th, 2026 but there will be a period of transition for her as she moves to Sault Ste. Marie.
While this news will undoubtedly be met with some disappointment by many in the parish, it is also an opportunity to give thanks for Rev. Elizabeth’s faithful leadership and to recognize the gifts she has been called to share more broadly within our diocesan community. Her ministry at St. Michael and All Angels has been a blessing to many and I know lives have been enriched through her pastoral care, preaching, and leadership.
At the same time, I want to assure you that plans are already well underway to begin the process of appointing a new priest for St. Michael and All Angels. We are committed to ensuring that this transition is undertaken thoughtfully and prayerfully, with the goal of providing continued strong pastoral leadership for the parish. More information about the appointment process will be shared as it becomes available.
Transitions are never easy, but they also invite us to trust in God’s faithful guidance. Throughout its history, St. Michael and All Angels has been sustained by the grace of God, and I am confident that the Holy Spirit will continue to lead and strengthen the parish in the months ahead.
Please join me in giving thanks for Elizabeth’s ministry among you and in praying for her as she prepares to begin this important interim appointment at the Cathedral. May God bless her with wisdom, joy, and strength in this new chapter of her vocation.
Be assured of my prayers for the people of St. Michael and All Angels during this time of transition. May the Lord continue to bless your parish with hope, faith, and every good gift as you look forward to the next season of ministry together.
Warmest regards,
The Most Reverend Anne Germond
Archbishop of Algoma
