Welcome
to St. Michael Parish Website. I hope our website will help
you get to know us as a Faith Community. With our 114 year
history we are proud to say we work hard at being a very welcoming,
warm and caring community.
We
are committed to Jesus Christ and the Church he founded, it's
teachings and traditions. There are four key focuses to our
Parish Ministry and we invite your participation in any one
of them. These focuses are Worship, Catholic Education, Family
Life, and Justice and Peace.
Worship
at the Eucharist is at the very heart of what we are and do.
We invite your full participation in our worship and we are
especially proud of our fine music ministry.
Catholic
Education is also very important to us. We believe Catholic
Schools are the preferred way to educate our children but we
also have an excellent Faith Formation program for our young
people who attend Public Schools. We are part of the Newman
Catholic School System Pre-K through 12. We also believe that
our Christian Formation does not end with
our formal school education
but is a life long process so we have and are developing a
number of Adult Christian Formation programs.
We
also believe that the family is the center of our parish life,
after all it is referred to us the "Domestic Church".
We do everything we can to support the family life through
the year. This support is shown through a number of parish
activities for families as well as encouraging families to
pray and share their faith with one another in their homes.
Lastly,
we believe the ministry of peace and justice has a top priority
in our parish life. Unless we are reaching out to others especially
those who are needy we cannot call ourselves disciples of Jesus.
It was He who said "What you do to the least of my brothers
and sisters, you do for me".
So
we invite you to get to know more about us through this Website
or by personally visiting us on Sixth Street. Myself or any
of our staff members would be happy to talk with you and answer
any questions you may have about St. Michael Parish.
We
thank you for visiting our website and invite you to join us
on our Spiritual Journey to our heavenly home.
God
Bless you and your family.
