As Priest-in-Charge, Father Meadows serves as priest and pastor of the 140+ year-old parish in Old Goucher community. In accepting the call, Fr. Meadows noted: “My task as Priest-in-Charge is primarily to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, to guide people into a deeper relationship with God, and to help all realize that, like Christ, we are called to serve and not to be served. Richard has a tremendous passion for God coupled with a love for God’s people. He has a contagious spirit of joy and generosity that overflows through every facet of his ministry. He currently is the Priest in Charge for The Historic St. James in West Baltimore as part of a new Two Churches - One Burden initiative of the Diocese of Maryland. Richard is married to Linda Mose Meadows, father to Torriano, Courtney+, Michael, Mary, Taylor and Jaycina. He loves, the beach and flying kites.
To this end, St. Michael and All angels welcomes him and will remain a place where all are welcome. Above all, it will become a beloved community that invites others to ‘Experience what eyes have not seen, nor ears heard about the wonderful things God has planned…’ St. Michael and All Angels church is located in downtown, near the city’s arts district, the North Avenue redevelopment corridor and MICA.

Its beautiful church building is on the National Register of Historic Places and its space is shared with two other denominational churches and they sponsor Camp Success during the summer school break, hosting many children from the community. The church has ample facilities and rents its majestic halls for community and family events.
