Our Parish Family
Sign up for the Parish pilgrimage Today! We will travel as a group to eat lunch in Russellville, then once at the home of the Fathers of Mercy in Auburn, KY we will learn about the indulgence offered during the year of mercy & cross through the Door of Mercy. There will be confessions available and we’ll celebrate mass in their chapel. Come spend the day having a good time with your parish family while growing in your faith! Please sign-up today (sheet on the bulletin board) so we can decide on our mode of transportation! For more info on the Year of Mercy in our Diocese see https://owensborodiocese.org/year-of-mercy/
Council meeting news: The Parish & Finance Council & Hispanic committee members met on Wed. and one of the topics was replacing the flooring in the parish hall. Some of the Hispanic parishioners have offered to install the floor for free so we have plenty of funds to pay for the materials in the renovation fund. The council members decided on a Luxury Vinyl Tile which will hopefully be installed next weekend! If you want to see which one they picked a sample is by the door!
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.
