Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel is said 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.
Parish Rosary
We invite you to join us in praying the Mysteries of the Rosary with us after the 8 AM daily Mass on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
We also pray the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3 PM on Wednesdays in the adoration chapel in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
Join us as we implore Our Blessed Mother to hear our intentions and offer them to her Son, our Lord Jesus!
Irish Pallottine Fathers Mission Appeal
On the weekend of August 12 and 13, Father Stephen Mutie, S.A.C. will visit the parish to speak at all the Masses about the missionary work of the Irish Pallottine Fathers in Tanzania, Kenya, and Colombia.
A second collection will be taken up to support their work of evangelization and development in those struggling countries. Please be generous in your support of their missionary outreach.
The Pallottine Fathers were founded in Rome in 1835 by St. Vincent Pallotti. He was a priest of the Diocese of Rome. He founded this religious community to encourage the apostolate of the laity and to promote the missionary work of the Church.
Today, Father Stephen serves at a parish in Michigan. He is looking forward to sharing his missionary experiences and his thoughts on the challenges of evangelization.
