The Rev'd Sandra Michels

 

 

 

The Rev’d Sandra Michels joined the staff and moved into Wainwright house in the fall of 2009.

She was born and raised in Texas, interestingly enough, in the same parish in which Gordon King (our director of music) worked and Father Prator (our rector) worshipped back in the 1960s. She was a nun in the community of the Holy Spirit here in Manhattan for seven years, and after her ordination to the priesthood, she served parishes in New Mexico, Missouri, Texas, and Indiana. Most recently she retired from St. Francis’ Church in Zionsville, Indiana.

Currently Mother Michels is studying at the General Theological Seminary. She is an expert in needlecraft and is presently working on a tapestry of Noah’s arc. She is also famous for her delicious trail mix!
