Spiritual Reflection from
St. David Parish
There is nothing I love more than when my whole family is home at the same time. I especially love when we are all sitting at the table for dinner, and I get to listen to my children tell me of their lives and their dreams. We usually end up staying at the table after dinner is done, joking and telling stories. It has, at times, turned into...Click HERE to continue reading Deacon Chris' reflection.
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.

This week, we continue to highlight the desired outcomes for the Faith Formation priority that will be facilitated by Mitch Nama and Meg Stelacio.
Priority 1 Faith Formation: From the time we are born until the time we die we are called to grow in faith. We desire to journey together to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Desired Outcome: An increased parish engagement measured through sacramental participation and DMI self-report.
The DMI survey data showed a notable desire of parishioners to strengthen and grow in their faith through sacramental participation. One way to encourage engagement in the sacraments is through the involvement in our parish faith formation groups.
