It's been the mission of the Church from its very founding to proclaim the Kingdom of God that Jesus established in His life, passion, death, and resurrection. Equipped with the grace of God that comes from receiving the sacraments--Baptism, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick, and especially the Eucharist--the Faithful are summoned to make the Kingdom present in our world.

St. Michael Parish is a community of faith that strives to bring its members more deeply into communion with our Lord and more actively involved in extending His mission into this little corner of the world. Following our patron saint, whose name means "Who is like God?", we live by the conviction that there is nothing that satisfies the human heart like God. We endeavor to demonstrate this truth by our way-of-life. Marrying virtue and moral character with humility, we try to embody the truth that God's love for humanity calls us away from the mindset of the world to higher values and self-sacrifice.

We stand by the conviction that God's love is revealed in the teachings of the Church, all of which work together to help each person grow in dignity, integrity, and holiness until we all reach the fullness of God's vision for the human race. And this vision, we know by experience, is happiness itself. As Christ said, He came that we might have life, and have it more abundantly (Jn. 10:10). This abundant life is rooted in communion with Him, His Father, and the Holy Spirit, and lived in the midst of His Church.
