Welcome and Happy New Year! While many have the best intentions surrounding New Year’s resolutions that may only last a few weeks, let us instead go a step further and re-focus our hearts and intentions on Jesus and the Way of Love! Saint Michael is a community of believers pursuing Christ and caring one for another. If you are visiting, or in need of prayer support, please fill out a communication/prayer request card located in the backs of the pews. We hope your time among us will be filled with a sense of connection, and we hope to see you again soon!
