Dear Friends and Parishioners of Christ Church!
I write in the hopes that your teens/young adults will be interested in joining me, my sons, and several other Christ Church teens/young adults at the Saint Michael’s Conference (St. Mike’s) for high school and College age young people (going into 8th grade through 21st birthday).
I am one of the priests on staff at the Conference, and I also attended the Conference when I was in high school and in college, and I was also a Counselor at St. Mike’s in the late 1990s and early 2000s. My wife Nicole also attended the Conference when she was in high school and college, and as noted both of our sons attend now.
The 2025 Conference is one full overnight week: 4pm, Sunday, July 20, 2025, through 12pm, Saturday, July 26, 2025. I have some room in my car if anyone needs a ride, but carpooling is generally the best way for drop off and pick-up (and Conferees with cars can drive themselves).
Here are links to the brochure and registration:

Two notes for filling out the Registration.
1) Church Name: Christ Church Pelham
2) When you get to the end, if you have any issues submitting, please let me know.
The Registration Fee of $615 covers conference attendance and 6 nights and 7 days of room and board. The bill for $615 will be emailed to you in April with a July 1 deadline. If you need financial aid, the Conference and Christ Church can definitely help; please let me know, and I will help out with that.
I really, really hope your teens / young adults will be able to go. I found Saint Michael’s Conference to be a wonderful anchor throughout high school and college, and a place where it was fun and easy to be an Episcopalian and meet great people. Some of my best friendships were formed at the Conference, and I look forward to going back each year. The teens from Christ Church who went last year all had a blast, and are planning to attend again this summer. I'm happy to talk to your kids if they have any questions.
I will follow-up with you in a week or so. If you have any questions, please let me know!
In Christ,
Fr. Matt
