We joined Saint Michael when we had young children, and the church played a critical role in both the adult and youth formation. It helped shape and energize our spiritual and social foundation. We are grateful for that experience and want to ensure that lifeline is supported for the future. — Eric, Judy, Nick, Noah, Olivia Conner
