The Clergy and Staff of Saint Michael and All Angels Church and School
wish to one and all a very Happy New Year!
A special thank you to all the individuals who worked to prepare the church for Advent and Christmas. This was greatly appreciated by St. Michael's community and visitors. A heartfelt thanks to all of St. Michael's "angels" who participated in the Angel Tree Project. The gifts that were brought in for the tags were collected, wrapped, and distributed to these wonderful children. Thanks to everyone for helping make the 9th Advent International Bazaar a success. During this event, around $8,000 changed hands. As part of St. Michael's community outreach, a percentage of sales was not required from the sociallycommitted non profit groups who will in turn keep all the money raised.
