St. Michael the Archangel ~ ADVENT GIVING TREE Gift tags for our Advent Tree are proudly hanging on our beautiful tree. Take one or two and help us support the ministry to the poor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church on Erie St. across from the Lucas County Court House. They feed more than 300 people a day with a home cooked meal - many of the folks, adult men and women and children, are homeless and in need. So let us try and support this ministry as our Advent outreach this year.

Please remember that we follow Washington Local school district for all delays and cancellations.  You can receive notice of delays and cancellations through Ohio Alert, our facebook page or any of the alert systems set up by local news channels.
We are blessed to be a part of the development of your child!  Please contact us if you have any concerns, questions or comments.

Blessings,
