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.

Meet the Implementation Team
The Envisioning Team has completed the first phase of the Next Generation Parish program by establishing our three parish priorities of Faith Formation, Outreach, and Stewardship. Now, we are excited to introduce our new Implementation Team, who will work together to lead the St. David community toward achieving our parish goals.
Mitch Nama and Meg Stelacio will oversee the priority of Faith Formation. Terri Rutherford and Skip Marlin will oversee the priority of Outreach. Chris Waltrich and Lori Dondero will oversee the priority of Stewardship. For a short introduction to each member of the implementation team, click HERE.
We strongly believe that our priorities—while unique—are connected, and will enable us to build a stronger St. David Parish community for many years to come. Throughout the summer months, we plan to provide our parishioners with additional details regarding our desired outcomes developed by the Envisioning Team, starting next week with Faith Formation.
