Mission Statement

We, the people of St. Michael the Archangel Parish, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, seek to know, love and serve God by committing ourselves to be people of prayer, dedicated to our baptismal promises, and enlightened by the message of the Holy Scriptures. We endeavor to humbly share our individual gifts and talents in a unified effort as the Body of Christ, to reach out and sustain all those in need within our parish, our local communities, and the world, in a spirit of compassion and generosity, thereby spreading the word of God, the grace of love of Jesus Christ, and His redemptive gift of salvation.
