Our team
Saint Michael's goal is to "live Christ's story"
Priest in charge
Rev Lucy Brencher
I'm priest-in-charge of St Michael's along with five other churches, known as the West Galtres Churches. I love leading creative family services, engaging in school's ministry, and facilitating ways to deepen our faith.

In my spare time I like walking our dog Chester, going to the theatre and spending time with my family.
