Dear Parishioners,

Today we celebrate the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.It is a good day to pray for all families, for food and shelter, love, forgiveness, and growth in holiness.I am pleased to have Merry Oswill, our Director of Religious Education speaking at each of our liturgies to our families here at St. Michael.
 

Our confirmation candidates will be on retreat at St. Francis Retreat Center in DeWitt this Monday and Tuesday.I look forward to joining them Monday evening.Please pray for them and their sponsors as they prepare to receive the sacrament of confirmation on February 19th.
 

A special thank you to all for all your warm greetings, cards, and gifts over the Christmas holidays!I pray that each of you and your families experience the deep peace, joy and love of our God throughout the New Year.
 

Father Jim Eisele
