About St. Michael the Archangel Parish
-
We are...
A Catholic Church
We adhere to the faith of the undivided Church. The material aspects of each parish are governed by a parish committee elected by each parish. The clergy and church members meet at local, diocesan and national synods to discuss and decide matters of Church administration and management. Each parish elects delegates to attend these meetings.
A Sacramental Church
We acknowledge the Seven Sacraments: Anointing of the Sick, Baptism and Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Holy Orders, Matrimony, Penance, and The Word of God.
A Worshipping Church
We encourage regular Mass attendance on Sundays and holy days of obligation. Through these services we give praise and honor to God.
A Responsive Church
We meet the religious needs of our faithful through Mass, the Sacraments and other services. We meet social needs through various service organizations.
A Teaching Church
We have First Holy Communion and Confirmation classes as well as School of Christian Living and Bible Study. Each year either a diocesan youth gathering or a national youth convocation is held for our young people.
A Counseling Church
Our pastors are available to help those who are having personal, family or spiritual difficulties. Our parishoners offer spiritual and moral support as well.
An Ecumenical Church
We work with other churches and religious groups to make our community a better place in which to live.
