The church is having a generator installed.
St. Michael's Church will go dark this week, from Tuesday through Wednesday, according to an alert posted on the church's website.

Since normal telephone service will be unavailable during the power loss, the church has provided an alternate emergency telephone number on its website: 908-477-3093.
