IN MEMORIAM: STEVE COULTER
Some of you may know that our faithful driver for Casa Maria, Steve Coulter passed away on July 31st. Steve recruited volunteer drivers and proposed a yearly schedule to share the delivery responsibility so lunches would be arrive at Casa Maria promptly. Steve also served as Junior Warden at St. Michael's for many years, keeping the buildings sound and dry and the landscaping beautiful!
Steve was scheduled to deliver the lunches to Casa Maria this Friday. We are blessed that his loving and caring wife Jill has taken upon herself to do what Steve would have done. Thanks to Jill, to Steve and to God!
Steve's life will be celebrated on Saturday Sept 13th, 11 AM at St. Michael and all Angels Church.
PS. If you would like to lighten the load by becoming a driver once or twice a year, please let us know and we will add you to the schedule!

SUNDAY FUNDRAISER: A MEXICAN LUNCH!
This Sunday, after the 10:15 am Mass, you are invited to a Mexican Lunch of chicken enchilada, beans and rice. The meal is prepared by Maria, a member of Mision San Miguel, to raise money for past-due house payments. Several months ago, Maria's husband fell from a roof and broke eight ribs and his spine in three places and is unable to work. They have three children and their son was confirmed here last year. Maria is working three jobs in order to keep their family afloat. They are behind three months in their house payments. The lunch is a free will offering. The suggested donation is $5. (Checks may be made out to Mision San Miguel with "Maria" place in the memo.) Lunch will be served from 11 AM until 3 PM in the Parish Center. All are invited!
