Parish Mission Statement: Over the next few weeks we will finish reflecting on our mission as a parish as stated in the new Mission Statement chosen by majority last year. Please see the front of the bulletin for the entire statement. Then we will have a speaker from the Diocese to help us reflect on our Mission during this Year of Mercy and beyond.
Going on Vacation or Down to the Lake? Don’t forget to continue your support of St. Michael’s while you’re gone! The parish counts on everyone’s ongoing support to continue to cover expenses through the Summer. You can either mail in your offering or give online giving a try! It’s easy to set up a quick, one-time gift or a reoccurring gift . See www.smsebree.org/online-giving/ for info.
