In the second reading this Sunday, St. John assures us that when we truly love God the Father, we also truly love His children-our family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, strangers, and even our enemies. So, as Catholics, we are compelled to serve those in need.  

The best way for every member of St. Michael Parish to participate in this mission is to support the Catholic Appeal.  This annual effort funds 50 central ministries of the Archdiocese of Boston.  If you would like to make a difference that extends beyond our parish boundaries, please complete a pledge form available in the back of the Church or visit donate online at www.BostonCatholicAppeal.org

Our parish goal for the 2012 Catholic Appeal is $36,214.00 of which $17,026.00 has been pledged to date. Please remember that if don’t reach our goal, the parish will have to pay the difference.
