Confirmation: November 23, 2013 Mission Statement: The Parish family of St. Michael Church is a welcoming, compassionate Christian community. We deepen our love for Christ by seeking life-long faith formation, praying, celebrating the Sacraments and reaching out to others with works of mercy.

2 St. Michael Catholic Church Community, fellowship, close relationship, (koinonia- Greek) is a key reality and word found in the Scriptures. We don t come to God as isolated individuals. Immediately after his birth, Jesus is the member of a Holy Family. When Jesus is born in our hearts, he empowers us to be sons and daughters of God, brothers and sisters to each other. We are part of the Holy Family of God. This Holy Family is one that experiences both the joys of communion and the tensions of working and living together. Notice that even the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph had some tensions and anxieties for example, as they looked for Jesus and found him in the temple. Even Jesus had to grow in wisdom before God, all the while remaining sinless. Fr.
