St. Michael the Archangel

PRIESTS:      Rev. Eugene Azorji
                       Rev. Javier Diaz

We are continuing our second collection at all Masses to reach the fundraising goal for our new Faith Formation Building:  $1,000,000

Thank you for your generosity this Sunday!

To help raise funds for the new Faith Formation building, we are selling tamales for your Super Bowl menu!  Place your orders in the narthex after Masses next weekend, January 25/26, and then pick them up at the tents in the front of the church after Masses on Sunday, February 2.  Cost is $13 per dozen for either chicken or pork tamales.  What a fun and delicious way to celebrate Candlemas Day (the Presentation of the Lord) and our nation's football pastime!

Why is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord referred to as Candlemas Day?  The term "Candlemas" (meaning Candle Mass) refers to the practice of the blessing of candles by the priest during a church service ("Mass") for use during the year in church and in the homes of the faithful.

Our Confirmation students and Youth, in conjunction with members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, will be at each Mass February 1 and 2, 2020 with “SOUPER BOWL FEED THE HUNGRY” collection buckets. Money donated will be dedicated to St. Michael's SVdP to purchase food supplies for the Food Pantry. The SVdP Food Pantry provides bags of food to over 5,000 brothers and sisters in need each year. Thank you in advance for assisting our mission with your contributions.

 

The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest. The initial recipient of a Seven Sisters group is their parish pastor, and this group has already begun at St. Michael’s for Fr. Eugene.  We are now seeking another seven women who feel called to offer the prayerful sacrifice of one Holy Hour a week on the same day each week for the sole intention of our Parochial Vicar, Fr. Javier.   You can learn more about this apostolate and sign up to be contacted about joining the St. Michael group by clicking here.

Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God,cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Heavenly father, give us the courage to find wisdom in our sacrifices, joy in our generosity and hope in the compassion we show, especially to the most in need of your comfort and care.  Lord, create in us a more open heart and a greater awareness of our need to grow, to change, to be transformed, so that we may be better stewrds of your gifts for the good of all.  AMEN.

Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche - "When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary.”

St. Michael's parishioners pray the Rosary beginning one half hour before all weekend Masses.  Please join us in this fruitful and powerful prayer.
