On behalf of St. Michael’s Parish I welcome you to our website.  It gives me great pleasure to know that we are answering the invitation of Jesus to “Go out to all the world and proclaim the Good News (Mk 16:16).”  In the early Church, the message of Jesus was proclaimed by word of mouth and the movement of feet.  In this century, new ways of communicating have been opened to us. We must use every method to bring the Good News to the world.

At Christmas we celebrate the Good News story of Jesus being born in Bethlehem and God becoming human. He experienced everything that you and I experience.  The Christmas story remains just a story unless we remember that it includes Christ’s death on Good Friday and resurrection on Easter Sunday.  Unless we put the whole story together, we miss the point of Christmas. This is called the Pascal Mystery and each Sunday, year in and year out, we celebrate this mystery as we gather together for the Eucharist.

Our Parish Vision Statement is to be a welcoming Eucharistic community, sharing faith and reaching out to all.  We invite you to gather with us for Eucharist on Sundays. St. Michael’s is an active parish where you will experience many opportunities to grow in your faith and minister to others. Please browse through the website where you will find our new newsletter and the Sunday bulletin.  We hope that you enjoy the website and visit us regularly online.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord Make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

May the Lord uncover his face to you and give you His peace.

(Numbers 6:22-26)
