Did you know that there are angels in our midst? I hope so, because it is true, and we can find that throughout all of Scripture. And in the midst of the angels, there exists a hierarchy among them, just as we have hierarchies in our own societies (ex: parents are guardians over their children, children are to honor their parents).
This week, September 29, we celebrate the feast of three great angels, the Archangels Michael, whose name means “who is like God”, Gabriel, who is “God’s messenger”, and Raphael, “God’s healing”. Each angel is tasked with a duty to carry out God’s mission for the salvation of all humanity.
Yes, you read that right. The duties given to all of God’s angels is that of service to you and me. What wondrous love is this, that our Lord would send his own army of angels to protect and guide us in our lives. Because of this, never hesitate to reach out to them in your need. They are only a prayer away, waiting to intercede on our behalf.
Make time to read about them so you can come to know who these three Archangels are and how they have already been doing their part in service to humanity, for love of God.
Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, pray for us!
Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us!

Are you ready to harvest?
Gardens of Giving provided seed packets to our parishioners this spring to dedicate a portion of their gardens to providing fresh produce for the hungry and those in need. We are ready to begin receiving the fruits of your harvest!
We invite anyone with excess produce from their gardens to donate as well. Baskets will be made available in the church, but if you can drop them off by Friday of each week to the parish office, we can also offer them to those in the parish who would benefit from receiving them after Masses that same weekend. The produce you’ve grown will also be taken to our shut-in parishioners, and any remaining will be given to Loaves and Fishes and to Salvation Army’s food shelf. Thank you for participating and providing others with fresh and healthy produce!
