We are nestled among beautiful fields and serene countryside in the northeast corner of Indiana. Our surrounding communities are Auburn, Angola, Hamilton, and Butler.

Centered around the Eucharist, we are truly blessed by the support of so many who make our parish vibrant and full. We warmly welcome you, and hope that you will join us in worship! Come see what makes our parish so special. St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us!

Important Notes as we resume public liturgies
 

Dear Parishioners,

“Social distancing doesn’t mean that we are not together.”

1. The first weekend for public liturgies will be May 23/24. Per the Bishop's directives, it is recommended that all individuals who are age 65+ or who have an at-risk health condition avoid public liturgy and utilize TV Mass. For this reason, Bishop Rhoades has extended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass for all Catholics in our diocese through August 15, 2020, at which point it will be reevaluated (Daily Masses, which typically have far fewer congregants, are also resuming). 

2. Anyone with a cough or fever, or who may otherwise be feeling sick, should not come to church for Mass or any other reason.

3. Please sanitize your hands as you enter the Church.

4. All congregants (except for little children and those who would have trouble breathing) must wear a mask or face covering out of concern for fellow parishioners. Congregants will remove masks only to receive Holy Communion.

5. Pews will be marked to allow for proper social distancing of 6 feet between individuals or family units of the same household. Please sit only in the designated pews.

6. Social distancing of 6 feet applies to the entire church campus, including a single Communion Line, Parish Hall, bathrooms, office, parking lot, etc. (Please observe socially distanced floor markings for the Communion Line and Bathroom lines.)

7. At the conclusion of each Mass, pews will be released from the back.  Please wait for an usher to dismiss your pew, and observe social distancing as you leave.

8. Socially distanced seating means fewer people can be in the church at the same time. For this reason, St. Michael’s will have an additional Sunday Mass (without music) at 5pm until the weekend of August 15/16.

9. We are now in the summer schedule for Saturday evening Mass. Weekend Masses at our parish will be Saturdays at 6 pm and Sundays at 8 am, 10:30 am, and 5 pm. Daily Masses will also resume, following the above precautions (masks, social distancing, etc.)

10. Confessions will be heard in the sacristry instead of the confessional from 7:30-8:00 am on Fridays, 5:00-5:45 pm on Saturdays, and anytime by request. 

*Extra ushers/lectors needed*  Current Lectors or Ushers who fall into the high risk category will not be asked to minister during this time. This creates a need for more volunteers in these roles. If you are able to lector or usher, please contact the parish office. (Until further notice, there will be no Greeters, Servers or Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.)
