Our Parish Family
Charbroil Grill Raffle: The local Knights are raffling off an outside, charbroil grill on April 23rd at their meeting. Buy tickets from any member of the Knights for $5/each.
Parish Hall & Parish Center: The former rectory (next to the Parish Hall) is now being used for classrooms/meeting rooms and the Parish Council has named it the Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Center. (“Guadalupe Center”) We will have an official dedication after the 10:30am Mass on May 24th. Come join us! We will also rededicate the Parish Hall to be officially named the Fr. Carl Glahn Parish Hall (“Glahn Hall”) in honor of our founding pastor who passed away in January.
New Spanish Mass Starts 3/29 on Palm Sunday: Due to the crowd at the 12pm mass and many people’s work schedules, the parish leadership has decided to add a Sunday mass in Spanish at 7:30pm on a trial basis until July.
Fr. Antonio named Associate Pastor of St. Michael’s: Since his arrival in November Fr. Antonio has been anticipating his official assignment. He has now gone from a resident priest to a member of the Parish Team! This will allow both he and Fr. Carmelo to continue to assist other parishes with Hispanic communities on a regular basis while still attending to the St. Michael’s Parish Family. Welcome Fr. Antonio!
