To Our Photo / Video Gallery 2026


APRIL 4, 2026 (PICTURES) – Order of Christian Initiation of Adults – Congratulations and Welcome to our Newest Members – At the Holy Saturday Vigil Mass, we welcomed ten new adult members to the St. Michael Parish community: Eliza Barragan, Hyon S. Bourret, Jacob Helman, Austin Morin, Kiera Morin, Mikaela Nabazas, Damian Orellana, Joshua Parilli, Jasmina Rauen, and Susan Stiers. After committing to and spending the past year studying the Catholic faith, Hyon and Jasmina were welcomed into the faith and received the Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. Susan was received from another faith and, with a profession of faith, became one with us. Eliza, Jacob, Austin, Kiera, Mikaela, Damian, and Joshua were baptized Catholic as children but had not received the final Sacraments of Initiation. Please continue to pray for all of them and for all the new Catholics around the world who were welcomed in their parishes on Holy Saturday. We have been blessed by their determination and their witness.

Thank you, also, to their sponsors who gave so much of their time – Keri Fiore, Mike Jentel, Dorothy Lennon, Sandy Mezyk, Christine O’Hara, Gary Olson, Kathryn Rauen, David Ruiz, Susan Stratton, and Nick Tapia.

Thank you to the catechists who helped form our members – Nancy Ermel, Deacon Colin Huie, Marilyn and Steve Howard, Deacon Mike McDonough, and John Vail.

And finally, thank you to the community of St. Michael who prayed for and supported our Candidates and Catechumen.
