The
parish church, built on Abban Street in 1903, was a rebuilding of the
mission chapel of the Holy Spirit (
Alexander Ross, 1886) which had stood in Factory Street, on the opposite side (east) of the River Ness. In the rebuilding, the church was lengthened. The architects were
Ross and Macbeth, who were based in the city. However, extensive alterations were made to the church under the direction of
Ninian Comper in 1904, 1905, 1923, 1924 and 1928, and the church has been called the "Comper Jewel in the Highlands of Scotland". The church is a simple late-Gothic, three-bay aisleless
nave,
narthex and
chancel, with vestry at north-east, Lady Chapel at north-west, and porch at west gable. It is built of
snecked masonry, with a slate roof. There is a spired bellcote at the west end. Inside, there is a collar-braced
waggon roof. The Lady Chapel and furnishings were by Comper whose father Reverend
John Comper had served as an Episcopal priest in Inverness. The
riddel posts with tester above the high altar; stone font with spired and crocketted timber cover; and stained-glass windows are all by Comper. The church is a
Category B listed building for its interior. The adjoining rectory in Abban Street is separately listed Category B; it was built in 1911 to designs by Alexander Ross and Son. The church stands in the
Anglo-Catholic tradition and is a member of
Forward in Faith. The Revd Canon Dr Iain Macritchie is currently the Rector of St Michael & All Angels, as of October 2021. ==See also==
