- pray for everyone throughout the world and help in devasted places through your offerings to Catholic Relief Services
- continue to support this parish through your electronic or physical offerings
- take advantage of all opportunities to know, love and serve our God offered through this parish
- support diocesan assistance through the Catholic Ministries Appeal

If you wish to receive Reconciliation & Penance, it is offered at St. Michael’s on Saturdays at 5pm. The confessional is located at the back of the Nave.
