A Big Saint Michael

The response to my letter to the parish last week has been very strong, and I am overwhelmed for the outpouring of support for Saint Michael. While we have made significant progress, we are still 50% short of our $600,000 goal to overcome our budget shortfall. We are so grateful to those of you who have responded by increasing or making your pledge. We still need $300,000 to meet our goal. Now is the time to be bold. Your generosity will make a difference and will provide the 2016 that I know you desire for Saint Michael.
