Parish Feast Day Celebration Next Sunday!! All members of the St. Michael parish family are invited to gather together for a bilingual mass on Sunday, October 4th at 11am to celebrate our Patron Saint Michael!! Mass will be held in the Sebree Springs Park so we will have plenty of room to celebrate all together. A procession will leave St. Michael’s at 10:30am to walk to the park for those that would like to participate. Everyone is asked to bring food to share in the park following Mass. (Dishes could be dropped off at the park before the procession) For those unable to attend there will still be English Mass Sat. at 5pm & Spanish Sun. 7:30pm
