Healing the Whole Person

Our parish offers many beautiful opportunities to encounter the Lord's love and healing, but often, people hesitate to sign up because they don't want to share in a group setting. Healing the Whole Person (HWP) study is not a small-group study. Participants watch a video talk, then spend time in silent, prayerful reflection, following the HWP workbook. The study helps participants understand and experience the healing power of God, body, soul and spirit. We are offering second session this summer on Tuesday mornings, 9:00 AM to noon, July 23-August 20, here at the church. The cost is $50 per person; call 763-308-5003 or email to register.

Fall Awakening Retreat

All adults are invited to our Fall Awakening Retreat September 13-15 at Christ the King Retreat Center in Buffalo. Led by Father Brian Park, this retreat will draw you deeper into God the Father’s tremendous love for you through Mass, Confession opportunities, Eucharistic Adoration, communal prayer times, music, talks, testimonies, small groups, fellowship, and time for silence and rest.

Mustard Seed Mission Trip

This January 4-11, St. Michael Catholic Church is once again serving the most vulnerable in the Dominican Republic with Mustard Seed Communities. Mustard Seed’s Hogar Immanuel is home for 48 special-needs children and young adults. A team of 16 adults, led by Father Michael Daly and Melissa Zachman, will serve the daily needs of the Hogar Immanuel residents as well as doing various maintenance projects. They will stay in onsite mission staff housing and have daily Mass and communal prayer together. The trip ends with a day at the beach and a special evening meal at a local restaurant. Space is limited, and we need a mix of men and women. The cost is $1,500 per person and includes airfare, transportation within the Dominican Republic, food, lodging, and most expenses. If you are interested, complete our online inquiry form as soon as possible, or email Bob swift with questions. God bless you!
