WHAT WE DO!
St. Michael the Archangel Parish's program of religious education prepares children and youth to receive the Sacraments, primarily the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation. It also instructs children and youth in the teachings of the church so that they may grow in love and faith and defend the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Parents, as primary educators, are vital to the mission of the church to go forth and make disciples of all men, teaching them to observe all that the Lord commanded. (Matthew 28:19-20)
Adult volunteers and AU student ministry teams work with children and youth in our programs. All volunteers undergo training and background checks for the welfare and protection of our students. To participate in ministry
Parents who homeschool their children for religious education can request supplemental materials to borrow like DVDs, bibles, childen's books, and links to approved online resources.
Due to restrictions of the pandemic, large group activities are suspended until vaccinations are readily available and the highly contagious virus is no longer a threat to the health of our community and it's most vulnerable members.
The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated with a Mass led by Archbishop Thomas Rodi for our youth in the class of 2021. (Current Juniors and Seniors who have not received the Sacrament of Confirmation.)
