CUB SCOUTS
Are you looking for family-friendly, safe, activities for your K-5th son/daughter?
Join our Cub Scouts to get your child outdoors and moving while having fun learning great skills and valuable lessons about community, character, nature, and more!  In Cub Scouts, we focus on ways our kids and their whole family can have fun. And, since kids need to move and explore, we make it fun by playing games, camping, canoeing, fishing, hiking, serving our community, and more!
Starting October 7, we meet virtually on Thursday’s at 7:00 PM during the week for fun, age-appropriate (not long) meetup, and at least one weekend a month for whole-family fun. Plus we have a plan to do it safe for all!
Sound fun? Come see us at our Drive-Thru on September 24. We will have information about our upcoming events, an activity, and planning calendar for the full year, information on how to sign-up, and live people to answer your questions!
Can’t make the Drive Thru? No worries! Contact Steph (text or call) at 330-550-0584 or email with any questions!

​JOIN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

It’s that time of year again! Our RCIA group is forming now, and will begin meeting in late September. RCIA is the program which brings non-Catholic adults into the Catholic Church. If you are, or if you know someone who wants to become Catholic, now is the time! RCIA is open to those baptized in other Christian traditions, as well as those who have never been baptized. It is also open to those who were baptized in the Catholic Church but never had any religious education, and never made their first communion. For more information, please call Maureen at 330-533-6839 or email maureen@stmichaelcanfield.org.

GENERATIONS OF FAITH NEWS
Thank you for your patience as we developed a plan for this upcoming year’s Religious Education at St. Michael Parish.

After consulting with the Diocese of Youngstown, and following what local school districts, the state of Ohio, and the CDC

are planning for reopening, we have decided it is best for our program to remain digital for the Fall season (September – December). We will continue to assess the situation to determine if we will be able to gather together again in spring.
Please contact Nicky Uerling at (330) 533-6839 with any questions.

​

Religious Education Kit Pick-Up
Kits are ready to go for those registered for Religious Ed!  Kits can be picked up during regular office hours (9:00-4:30). Please contact Nicky at 330-533-6839 if you need to make other arrangements!  You can still register for our program by visiting: www.stmikesgof.com.

​​MASS INTENTIONS

We are now scheduling Masses for 2021. However, in keeping with the current guidelines, we are requesting that instead of coming in to schedule your Masses, please call the Parish Office (330-533-6839) to schedule, and then just mail in a check.  You are permitted up to 6 masses per year per deceased person.  Because the number of Saturday and Sunday Masses available for intention is somewhat limited, it is necessary to limit those Masses to 1 per year per deceased person.  Weekday Mass intention will be limited to 5 Masses per year per deceased person.  The Mass offering is $10.00.

​

COMMUNITY MEAL 
This ministry outreach, run by parish volunteers, has as its main purpose to build community and to strengthen friendships while enjoying a meal together. There is no charge. There has been some confusion of late as to “who should attend.” The meal is meant for anyone who would like to come, both parishioners of the parish and anyone else from the larger geographical area. For example, if someone lives alone, it’s an opportunity to “meet new people.” For others, it’s a social supper out. So, come to our next community meal, being held Thursday, October 29, 2020 from 5:00-6:00 PM in the Parish Hall. ​Mark your calendars with the dates for our 2020 Community Meals:  October 29, and December 10. Teens: Need service hours? Confirmation students—a good place to serve in the Holy Spirit.

For information on how to volunteer call Barb Spencer 330-503-4756. Read more HERE.
As one of our liturgy songs goes: “All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place!”

​

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.
