Our Parish Family
Can you help? For our big annual fundraiser at the St. Michael Feast Day we are in need of a small freezer as well as small items or basket of items for a raffle. From 12-4pm could you help serve food, supervise the inflatable or one of the games?
St. Michael Feast Day begins on Sunday, Sept. 24th at 10:30am in procession from church to the park, 11am bilingual mass in park followed by parish picnic style fundraiser. Please make plans to join your parish family in celebrating our patron feast! Please invite family and friends to come to the picnic for a good time & to support our parish!
Congratulations to Brenda Badertscher who has been chosen as this year’s Sophia Award recipient by fellow parishioners. This award is to honor a life of stewardship (sharing their time, talent and treasure) in service to the parish and community. Thank you Brenda for your years of dedication and service! The Sophia Awards Mass is Sunday, September 10th at 2:00 pm at Saint Stephen Cathedral.
Do you wish kids today knew more about our faith? Could you lend a hand? Our parish would like to start Religious Education for our K-6 graders on Wednesday evenings (5:45-7pm) and youth group for middle & high schoolers on Thursday afternoons (3:30-5pm) but we still need more adults to pull it off! Could you volunteer? Or rotate with a group of volunteers? All materials and training provided. Call or text Patti(302-2782) and she can tell you more details.
Chris Gutiérrez will be ordained a permanent deacon on Saturday, Sept. 16th at 10am at Holy Spirit parish in Bowling Green.
