A WEEK BEFORE PALM SUNDAY – It’s “Tech Week” at St. Michael – the week before Palm Sunday when many teens and adults involved with our annual Passion Play are busy with dress rehearsals and final preparations in anticipation of performing the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ at Masses.

For more than 25 years, the high school students at St. Michael have enacted our Lord’s Passion. It has become a tradition that is beloved by our entire parish community.
