We have a lot of exciting news to share with you regarding our Congregation:

  • Following the mass we will host the bishop with our traditional potluck. Please make sure to bring food for the occasion.

Advent Retreat Week 3

* Stewardship Campaign  2024 *

This year’s annual giving theme, Taking the Next Faithful Step, is inspired by many biblical stories of God’s people from Abraham and Moses to Jesus and his disciples, all of whom felt God calling them to move ahead and responded, even though the future wasn’t certain. Here at St. Michael the Archangel Anglican Catholic Church, we are taking the next faithful steps in our life as a community. Over the next year, we will take sole responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of our wonderful new church building and property, support an active and growing Sunday School, set-up and participate in community outreach programs, and we are asking for your help, praying that you will make a financial pledge in support of the operations of the church which include St. Michaels’ work and ministry.

With your support, St. Michaels can take this next faithful step, following the way of Jesus. We cannot know what lies ahead of us, but we remain confident in the assurance of God’s abiding and steadfast love. Because of your generous and faithful gifts, our church will be able to do what that love requires of us by nurturing life-giving, joyful ministries both inside and outside the walls of our congregation.

* You all should have received an email last Saturday from our Treasurer, Lynne, announcing our 2024 Stewardship campaign, “Taking the Next Faithful Step”. Please fill out the form, and either email it back to Lynne or print it out and place it in the offertory plate on Sunday. If you prefer to pick up a pledge card here at church, they are on the table by the front door. This will assist Lynne in putting together a more accurate 2024 budget for St. Michaels.*

What is the Anglican Catholic Church?

The Anglican Catholic Church is a worldwide body of Christians with churches in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Africa, India, and South America.  We are Anglican because our tradition of prayer and worship is rooted in the Church of England and its Book of Common Prayer. We are Catholic because we believe and practice the universal or catholic faith of the church.  Read more at our About page and at http://www.anglicancatholic.org/about-the-church

For frequently asked questions about the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), we refer you to our denomination’s main website: http://www.anglicancatholic.org/frequently-asked-questions?class=greenlink

“In the twilight of life we will be judged on our love for, closeness to and tenderness towards our brothers and sisters.” – Father Pothin
