St. Michael the Archangel Pastorate
Vision Plan Survey Timeline
St. Michael the Archangel Pastorate is in the second week of our parish‐wide survey. We are seeking everyone's thoughts and opinions about what our parish does well and what we can prioritize for the future. Based on your valued thoughts and opinions, our Leadership Team will work closely with the Pastor to determine our priorities for the next three years. Paper surveys were available after all Masses this weekend, but we are strongly encouraging you to take the survey online It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes and your opinion is invaluable to our team!

Year of St. Joseph
On December 8th, Pope Francis inaugurated a year dedicated to St. Joseph to commemorate the 150th anniversary of St. Joseph's dedication as Universal Patron of the Catholic Church.
To mark this occasion, Pope Franics issed an Apostolic Letter on St. Joseph, which I highly encourage everyone to read and to use in your increased devotion to St. Jospeh.
We will begin to plan public devotions to St. Jospeh this year.
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.

and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil. Amen.
