MISSION STATEMENT: It is our mission to work in partnership with parents to provide the children of our parish with a quality Catholic education.   We teach knowledge of Christ and His Church appropriate to the age level of community, and help them to carry the Good News forward and share it with others.

Faith Formation for Children and Youth:

Children's Faith Formation classes for grades Kindergarten through 6 are held during the regular school year (September through May) on Sunday mornings at 9:45 a.m. (between 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. Masses). Youth Faith Formation Classes for grades 7 through 12 meet Wednesday evenings at 7:30 p.m.

The parish youth participate each year in a Summer Mission Trip experience.  The youth hold fundraisers throughout the year to raise funds to pay for the trip to a Catholic Heart Work Camp where they spend a week with approximately 400 youth from around the country to work together in a spirit of community and service.  The youth work in a variety of settings from adult day care to home remodeling, painting to child day care, anywhere help is needed.

As an extension of our Faith Formation program, Totus Tuus is offered in odd numbered years; Vacation Bible School is offered in even numbered years at our parish.

Adult Faith Formation:

St. Michael's currently offers a Sunday Study group for adults. It meets in Room 101 of the Parish Center at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday mornings when Children's Faith Formation classes are in session. The current offering is a weekly video series entitled, "What Catholics Believe," by Msgr. William Carr. For more information, contact the Parish Office.
