Spiritual Reflection from

St. David Parish

Dear Parishioners,

Thank you, thank you, Parishioners, for your prayers throughout the school year. It certainly has been a year like no other. Because of your prayers and the safety measures we put in place, we were able to stay open and continue teaching our super-duper students!... Click HERE to continue reading Sister Mary's letter.

We will pray the

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after every mass.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
