Saint Michael's community, please be aware that the wooden ramp that grants access to wheelchairs at St. Michael's church is broken, therefore unusable. The Church of Saint Ann's maintenance team is working on it and will repair it as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to call the parish office at any time. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Dear Parishioners, When we celebrated our Lord's resurrection on April 4th, 2021, we began a year of magnificent festivities for our church. As you may know, this year we observe the 100th anniversary of the consecration of St. Michael’s Church. Thus, the Slovak community has pledged to celebrate this Platinum Jubilee with 100+ good deeds. Read more...

A new youth initiative called "NeXt Level" is coming to our parish! NeXt Level is a pilot program of the Center for FaithJustice funded by the Lilly Endowment, which offers and is researching a new approach to youth ministry designed to strengthen Catholic parishes. For those of you who don’t know, our parish was selected to participate in this groundbreaking study! This is a selective program that gives the young people of our parish an opportunity to put their faith into action, be formed as leaders, and use their gifts to address the needs of our parish and surrounding communities. If you are a teenager in grade 8-12 who may be interested in joining please attend our information session this Tuesday, 3/16 at 6 PM! Please visit the Youth Ministry Page on the Parish Website or speak to the youth Minister Linh Nguyen for more information.

After careful consideration and dialogue, the CYO has decided to cancel the spring sports programs (Track & Field, Soccer, and the Cross Country Meet that had been rescheduled from the fall) due to the ongoing pandemic. This decision was reached after extensive discussions along with the CYO Board of Trustees. The safety of the athletes, coaches, and families remains the primary focus and along with the considerations of logistics led to this decision. While this is also disappointing as was the decision of the basketball season cancellation, there was no other conclusion to be reached in dealing with the current restrictions and conditions we all face. It is everyone’s hope that conditions will improve and the fall sports programs will be able to commence as scheduled. For more information and questions about this matter please contact Quincy Walzer at qwalzer@cyomercer.org

October 20-28 will be the 81st Anniversary for the annual  Saint Jude Novena being celebrated at  Saint Michael Church (October 20-28, 2019). The Novena will be celebrated by Fr. Roy Ballacillo. Please see the complete Novena's schedule for more information.

We will reintroduce our Saturday night vigil Masses starting this weekend at 4pm. At this time, the Vigil mass will be a "quiet Mass", meaning no music. Because the Vigil Mass is moved an hour early, we will therefore move also the time for confessions. Reconciliation is scheduled at 3PM-3:45PM.
