Next weekend, Dec. 3^rd / 4^th  there will be a special collection for the St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy. It is through generous donations from the community that St. Vincent de Paul is able to continue serving the poor and needy through its various programs. Your continued support makes their good works possible

Blessed Seelos, Our Mother of Sorrows,  along with the SPEAK women’s prayer group and St. Michael’s Parish will sponsor an Angel Tree this Christmas.  If you know of a family in need, please submit their name and contact information to the office.  This is for children ages 12 and under. The Angel Tree applications are in the back of church.  

Due by Monday, November 21^st

During the months of November and December, our youth we will be collecting non-perishable food items for the St. Martin de Porres Society.  The need for such items is particularly acute during the holiday season.  The youth will be making Thanksgiving Bags and Christmas Bags and are requesting the following items:  rice, stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, sweet potatoes, canned fruit, chicken broth, turkey gravy, macaroni and cheese, and Jiffy corn bread mix.  Please begin to bring your donations and place them in the collection box in the back of the church.  Thank you for your continued generosity!  If you would like to make a monetary donation for perishable food that will be purchased, please call the office. 

We are now taking Mass Intention requests for 2023.  Please know there are many dates available for Mass Intentions during the week.  Because many parishioners have a preference for Masses to be celebrated on weekends, we find it necessary to limit the number of Mass requests made by any one person to six (6) weekend Masses per year. This will give everyone an opportunity for weekend requests.

An image of our beautiful stained-glass window adorns this keepsake ornament! These ornaments will make a great Christmas gift and memento for family and friends! We will begin selling them at all Masses beginning next weekend.
