The fruits of our labors are not always seen in our lifetimes. Faith is not conditional on seeing results. Faith is a radical trust in what is unseen. It requires vigilance and self-investment. It requires our attention even when our efforts do not bear fruit or are unappreciated or unrecognized.
A person who is open to accepting God's presence, however it comes, and is willing to share the love received with others is a true inspiration. Good works will flow from this vigilant depth of faith. It will be directed where it is most needed and detached from the need for recognition or gratitude.
No one needs to know the humility, generosity, and goodness of our hearts. God knows. Standing watchful, we are prepared to receive the gift of Divine Love and freely share it with others, without recognition or self-benefit.

Rite of Christian Initiation
For Children & Youth
The Rite of Christian Initiation adapted for children and youth (RCIC) is specifically tailored for each participant and your child's individual needs.
Is there a child or youth member of your family interested in becoming Catholic by baptism or by completing their sacraments?
This initiation journey is for children/youth (ages 7 - 17), who:
- are not baptized and wish to enter the Catholic Church
- have been baptized in another faith tradition and wish to become Catholic

Hearing Loop
Worship Space
Earlier this year, St. Michael Parish installed a new hearing loop system underneath our new carpet under the CHAIRS ONLY in the Worship Space.
While you may benefit from it in the pews, superior listening will occur in the chairs in the Worship Space.
Do you wear hearing aids or have a cochlear implant?
All you need to do is switch your hearing aid or cochlear implant to T, or hearing loop program. All but the very smallest modern hearing aids tend to be supplied with this internal-coil or telecoil.
If your hearing aids do not have a T-coil built into them or you have difficulty hearing but do not wear hearing aids, you can still benefit from using the system.
A personal listening device is available for your convenience. We currently have four devices available for use. Just ask our Hospitality Team for one, and they will be happy to assist you.
