Family Day: Sunday, August 28th at 2:00 p.m.
All parishioners & friends are invited to our annual Family Day. The
gathering will take place(weather permitting) behind the priests residence
near the high school or else if weather is poor, we will gather at the
parish hall. We will share a hot dog, hamburger and pop with family and
friends and to offer a school item or several to the kids who participate
in our fun games. Please make a special effort to attend on Sunday
afternoon at 2:00 p.m.. All children are welcome and we ask that they be
accompanied by parents or guardian.
Church Parking Lot
We have designated two parking spaces for the Physically challenged near
the main entrance of the church. It is kindly appreciated that these two
spaces be respected and used only by those who cannot use the stairs
leading to the upper parking lot. We ask that the Fire Lane be free from
all traffic especially in the event that we require emergency services
such as the fire trucks or the ambulance. Please do not park in the fire
lane. Also, we ask people not to park on church property as we have
noticed in the last few weeks an increase in the number of individuals
loitering on the church parking lot in the evening hours.
Home Religion Program
The religious education for our children is the sole responsibility of the
parents/ guardians. The role of the parish is to provide the religious
materials and coordinate the families to participate in the program.
Children: Age 5 & 6 are invited to participate in the year 1 program
Children: Age 7 or older can participate in the year 2 program which
includes First Eucharist.
Children: Age 8 can participate in the year 3 program which includes First
Penance.
Children: Any child aged 7 years or older may celebrate the sacrament of
Confirmation.
Please note that these age groups are flexible. It is up to the parents
and guardians to ask to have their child register for a particular
program. The expectation is that the religion program will be completed at
home and once a month we will meet with the parents/guardians to evaluate
their progress.
For more information, call Karen Seward (488-2560) or the parish office
(488-2525). Registration forms are available at the parish office or at
the church. Please complete the form and submit a fee of $10 so that the
parish can purchase the materials required for each child.
St. Michael's Parish Hall
The cost to operate St. Michael's Parish hall continues to a major expense
for our parish. It is very important that if our hall is to operate it
must remain viable on its own without having the parish to take money from
the weekly church collection to pay for its expenses. As the Fall months
draw closer, the expenses of light, oil, cleaning, and insurance will
increase and therefore we must find ways for the hall to pay these
expenses. To those who are planning a wedding or private function of any
kind, we would appreciate you supporting your parish. Please call the
parish concerning the costs for dinners or hall rentals before you make
your final decision as to the place you wish to host your private
function. We need your support and if we cannot get the support to
maintain the hall property, we will have serious decisions to make
concerning the future operations of the hall.
Ticket Sweep
The Wabana Boys and Girls Club are having a ticket sweep. Tickets are $2
each or 3 for $5. First prize is $1000.00, second prize is $500.00. Draw
