Saint Saviour’s Episcopal Church welcomes The Reverend Michael Southwick as its Priest-in-Charge. Ordained as a priest in The Episcopal Church in Connecticut in 2024 after a long and successful career as an attorney, Michael brings both deep faith and a lifelong connection to the local Old Greenwich community as he begins leading the parish into a new chapter of growth and renewal.
Michael and his wife, Debby, have been Old Greenwich residents for over thirty years and they are both delighted to serve the community they love and in which they raised their family. Together, they are committed to rebuilding and nurturing the faith community at Saint Saviour’s, creating a welcoming place for worship, fellowship, community service and spiritual growth.
Saint Saviour’s Episcopal Church, an iconic mission-style church originally built in 1918, is a charming historic landmark in the heart of Old Greenwich. For many years, the church has also been home to a beloved dance school and nursery school, making it a familiar and cherished gathering place for local families.
Under Michael’s leadership, Saint Saviour’s is embracing a spirit of hospitality and renewal. The church warmly welcomes everyone—whether longtime residents, newcomers, or those simply seeking a place of reflection and community.
Sunday services are held each week at 10:00 a.m., and all are invited to attend. The church is also planning worship and special events during the upcoming Easter season, in addition to community events throughout the year.
“Saint Saviour’s has always represented a special place in Old Greenwich and is an important part of the fabric of this community,” said Rev. Southwick. “Debby and I are excited to help grow a vibrant faith community here—one that welcomes everyone with open arms.”
Community members are encouraged to attend a Sunday service, stay for coffee, reconnect with friends in the historic church, and take part in the many events planned for the coming months.
