These parishioners would work with their pastors to help us all move forward as faithful disciples with skills and passion for spreading the gospel. Again, the goal of the Pastoral Plan is to engage all our parishes in the central work of the Church: Building the Kingdom of God. St. Michael: Mass 5:30pm. Workshop 6:30-8PM.
