Sept 29 - The Feast of the Archangels
On the Church’s liturgical calendar, September 29 is the Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabri- el and Raphael, but because today is Sunday, the Sunday celebration of the Lord’s resurrec- tion takes precedence over the feast day. Our parish selected a statue of St. Michael the Arch- angel over several other options for the shrine at the entrance from the Gathering Space. The new statue was installed earlier this summer.
Very little is known about St. Michael other than what we know from Scripture and church tradi- tion. Michael is mentioned twice in the Book of Fall Offertory Appeal Daniel, once in the Epistle of Jude and finally in the Book of Revelation. Our annual fall offertory appeal kicks off this weekend. You will be The name Michael means, “One who is like God,” receiving a letter in the mail this In our Catholic tradition, St. Michael has four duties: week.
