We are excited to be offering the Alpha Course this fall at St. Michael's parish! Alpha is a series of evenings which explore life's big questions, such as 'Who is Jesus?', 'Why did he have to die?', and 'How do I pray?' It is a wonderful opportunity to go deeper into your faith, and encounter Christ on a deeper level. Each evening starts with a meal, followed by a video talk exploring the question for the evening, and closing the night with discussion. It starts Monday, Sep 24th - register today!

Join us again this September 9th as we once more begin our 7pm Student Mass on Sundays during the academic year. Although this Mass is scheduled for our university student community, all are welcome! Please note that we use incense at this Mass.

This weekend a letter was read in all parishes across the Diocese explaining the lost funding that our Catholic organizations (particularly our camps) have experienced because they refuse to renounce their pro-life convictions. If you wish to make a donation, you can make cheques payable to 'St. Michael's Parish', and mark the envelope as 'Summer Jobs Program'.
