On Sunday, February 5, 2023, the Reverend Salmoon Bashir, deacon, returned and preached at St. Michael's for the first time since his ordination to the Sacred Order of Deacons. After providing a wonderfully personal and real interpretation of a well-known gospel, St. Michael's treated Dn. Salmoon to a congratulatory reception to commemorate continued growth in his spiritual journey and the Episcopal Church.
