CALL THE RECTORY MARRIAGES: ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE MADE SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE OF THE DATE OF THE WEDDING St. Michael Parish Vision Statement As a faith community we believe and profess that “God so loved the world that he gave us his only son” (Jn.3:16). In that giving, God invites us to be one with the Trinity. In response to the divine invitation the parish of St. Michael the Archangel gives praise and thanks, and obeys the word spoken by “the word made flesh”: • “Do this in memory of me” (Lk. 22:19). We celebrate the sacraments to encounter the Lord Jesus, especially the Eucharist, in which many become one and become increasingly the Body of Christ in this world. • “Go teach all nations and baptize them….” (Mt. 28:19). We commit ourselves to live the gospel. In doing so we proclaim, teach, and model a way of life for all in this rural community. • “Love one another as I have loved you” (Jn.13:34). Convinced of the beauty and dignity of the human family, we minister to the needs of both our faith community and the wider community. PAROCHIAL ADMINISTRATOR: FR. JOHNATHAN SCHMOLT DEACON: REV. MR.
