Holy Communion
The faithful are reminded that all communicants must be Catholic, in the state of grace, and fasting.
Dress and Decorum in Church
Out of respect for Our Divine Lord in the tabernacle, please try to keep silence in the church as much as possible.
Also, out of respect for Our Lord and for the edification of our neighbor, we ask all to appear in church modestly dressed. For example slacks, shorts, sleeveless and low-cut dresses do not meet the norm of Christian modesty for women and girls. Gentlemen also, no less than ladies, are encouraged to be generous in expressing their respect for Our Lord by dressing suitably for Holy Mass. Your cooperation is evidence of your love for the Blessed Sacrament and your respect for the House of God.

Feast of the Circumcision
Some thoughts for the New Year from Dom Marmion O.S.B.:
“Confidence is a virile virtue which should frequently be stirred up and defended against the attacks of the demons.”
“We do not rise to God by fruitless complaints about the past or by fine projects for the future, but by accomplishing every hour of the day, the duty of the moment.”
“When charity is firmly planted in our hearts, the nature of our action is of relatively small importance for our sanctification.”
A Welcome to Visitors
St. Michael's wishes to welcome any visitors who are attending Mass this Sunday.
