FROM THE PASTOR . . .

​

While the staff is relocated in the Family Life Center, we are also going to take some time to look at the entire structure of the programs and activities offered in the parish.  

​

One matter will be making sure that every activity or program that has any connection to Saint Michael Parish has a particular staff member that serves as the liaison to that group or ministry, from all Scripture/Bible Studies to our social and service-oriented groups, and everything in between.  This will allow for better communications and understanding of what is happening.  

​

One of the areas we have already been working on is our Faith Formation Programs.  We announced in April changes to our program for our K-8 students, and we will also be looking to enhance our Adult Faith Formation opportunities as well.  

​

After some discussions with Monsignor John Zuraw, the pastor of Saint Charles and Saint Luke Parishes, we will be collaborating beginning this Fall in the catechetical component of our RCIA program.  

​

We will also look to collaborate on a variety of Adult Faith Formation sessions with neighboring parishes.  In this age of collaboration and reconfiguration throughout the diocese, even the largest of parishes must seek ways to work together.
