CAN YOU GIVE GREEN EGGS AND HAM?
Can you add a can of yams?
We would prefer you not bring Spam.
We’ll take green beans tho if you can!
Our local Soup Kitchens/Dining Halls are in need of some assistance for their Easter meals. We are hoping that once again, Saint Michael Parish would be in the forefront of this project. Please bring packaged hams, colored eggs, etc. that would be a part of an Easter meal to the Parish Hall on Monday, March 30 between 5:00 & 7:00pm (use the back door close to the kitchen) and Tuesday, March 31 between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
FISH DINNERS - "CHANGE IN MENU"
This year, Saint Michael Parish will not be hosting weekly Fish Dinners. For the past few years, we have been monitoring the attendance of diners, number of volunteers (for all roles), and the cost factor compared to the net profit. Each year, the attendance has been less than the year before, while volunteers for some jobs are good, certain key positions are hard to fill, and the costs continue to rise, including the increased utilities of the building during that time. While we had already decided not to continue this year, we then discovered that the cost of a case of fish has increased greatly. This has prompted others not to continue this year, and the rest are faced with increasing prices. We will, however, be holding a Palm Sunday Pasta Dinner on Sunday, March 29 from 12:30 – 3:00pm in the FLC. More information HERE, on the Lenten card being mailed out, and in the bulletin. A heartfelt thanks to everyone who volunteered and supported the Fish Dinners over the past years. Please plan to join us for the Pasta Dinner and all other events throughout the year.
2025 TAX STATEMENTS
We are in the process of posting the final contributions for 2025, including the many offertory gifts received for Christmas. As such, 2025 tax statements will be available beginning Wednesday, January 28th. To obtain a statement, please call the office and it will be ready in two days (beginning on the 28th). Statements will not be done while you wait.
COMMUNION TO THE HOMEBOUND
If you know of someone who may have recently had surgery or is homebound and unable to attend Mass and would like to receive the Eucharist, please call the Parish Office at 330-533-6839.

RECITATION OF THE ROSARY
A group gathers in the pews near the Holy Family Statues for an oral recitation of the rosary the 1st Saturday of the month at 3:15pm. Please call Mary Ann Camardo (330-286-3432) for more information.
Please join us on Tuesday mornings (unless there is a funeral) at 11:00am in the church to say the Patriotic Rosary. For more information call Kate Pavlich (330-533-2432).
FITNESS FUN is a safe one-hour total body exercise workout, which includes a warm-up, weight training, body conditioning and toning exercises, both standing and on the floor, low impact aerobics, and a cool down. All exercises are choreographed to Christian and popular music of the present and the past. The class meets every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00am to 10:00am in the lower level of the Parish Hall. Interested persons may join anytime.
Please wear comfortable clothes, proper shoes, and bring a mat for floor work.
OPEN GYM FOR WALKING
The Family Life Center Gymnasium is now open four days a week: Monday through Thursday, from 9:30am to 11:30am. Parishioners are invited to come and walk for healthy exercise and companionship. Walkers are requested to stop in the open meeting room across from the restrooms to store their coats and change from outdoor boots and shoes to indoor athletic or walking shoes—required to protect the FLC floor. Now there is no need to go to the mall to exercise. This is a great opportunity right here at home to walk your way to a healthy lifestyle. Please enter through the side door.
