St Michael's values the traditional forms of Anglican
worship, and uses the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, the American Missal,
and the Hymnal 1940. The altar is at the center of parish life. We
celebrate Rites with traditional ceremonies which set forth in action
the belief that our Lord is really here present. The sacrament is
perpetually reserved in the Oratory at the rectory for devotion and for
the communion of the sick.
Sunday Masses are at 8:00 a.m. (Low
Mass) and 10:00 a.m. (Sung Mass with Sermon).
Sunday Mass (Low Mass with Hymns and Sermon) during July
and August is at 10:00 a.m.
Sunday services are at the Chapel of Peace in West
Laurel Hill Cemetery, Belmont Avenue in Bala Cynwyd. The 10:00 Mass is
followed by coffee hour (iced tea in the summer), which allows time for
members of the congregation to visit with one another. Children's
Sunday School classes also follow the 10:00 Mass.

Rectory.
