St. Michael's Parish 
Sincere Thanks
Much has happened during Holy Week and Easter this year and so much to be grateful for as well. We were blessed with prayerful and well attended ceremonies this year. There was a lovely atmosphere in the church during those days.
We are grateful to so many people who quietly give their time and talents to parish for Holy Week and throughout the year. We have a very special parish with so many volunteers making it so. We thank our volunteer sacristans, altar society and those who lovingly maintain the church, our church choir, folk group, cantors, music groups, ministers of the Word and Eucharist, church collectors, Parish Finance Committee, the young people along with Sr. Mary for the beautiful Stations of the Cross on Good Friday and all those who ensure that our church and grounds are well maintained. Thank you for your generosity and time.
This year also, it was wonderful to support the Polish Community as they gathered in great numbers to celebrate Holy Week and Easter in Holy Cross Church.
Then on Monday morning, we heard the sad news that Pope Francis had ‘returned to the House of the Father’. Thanks to all those who helped in arranging and celebrating a special Mass for him on Thursday evening. While the notice was short, it was really impressive so see that people from our Family of Parishes were able to be there and pray for Pope Francis together. May he rest in the peace of the Father whom he so faithfully served.
