Upcoming Events ...

It's been a while since I sat down to meditate on the state of our parish and the many fantastic things that are happening at St. Michael.  The main reason is that there are so many fantastic things happening at St. Michael!  But as part of that, I want to invite you to be a part of it!


Here are a few things going on in the next 2 weeks:

Parish Penance Service -- in church, Wednesday, April 9, at 7 pm
Come experience the powerful and transformative mercy of God! We'll have a bunch of different priests available to hear your Confession and help you get ready for Easter.
Stations of the Cross -- in church, Friday, April 11, at 7 pm (English) and 8 pm (Spanish)
The the time to walk with Jesus in His suffering and death. Be touched by the tremendous love He had for us to give Himself in offering for our sins! This is a great preparation for hearing the Passion this coming Sunday.
Speaking of Sunday...

Palm Sunday  -- regular Mass times.
A free souvenir palm comes with every Mass attendance! :)
Chrism Mass -- in church, Tuesday, April 15, at 2 pm
Come celebrate the gift of God's healing, sanctifying, and governing grace to the Church as the Bishop consecrates the Sacred Oils used in the Sacraments for the coming year!
Triduum and Easter -- you don't want to miss this high point of the Church Year. (There's so much going on that you'll just have to go on the parish website and read for yourself.)

Due to these events, the Luke 5:29 Bible Study will NOT MEET for the next 3 weeks. We'll get together again on April 30 at 5:29 pm in the Youth Room above the Parish Center.
