The Intercessory Prayer Ministry of St. Michael Parish has resumed meeting and has committed to pray intentionally for others’ needs.

Prayer requests may also be submitted by using the online form, by email to the Parish Office, or by using a paper form.
Our parish has been blessed with the opportunity to support Pro Labore Dei’s mission to feed the hungry. Each day of the week, Trader Joe’s in Orland Park donates perishable food to many who are hungry. They have offered us “Saturdays” to help get that food to the hungry. Hence, we are asking for the help of two or three people / families, who have a pick-up truck or van or SUV, to help once every two or three months to pick up and deliver the food.
All are welcome! – Join us either on Saturday mornings at 7 AM in the Ministry Room West or on Wednesday night at 7 PM in the Commons to discuss the coming Sunday Scripture readings – what they mean and how they apply to our daily life.
Confessions are heard regularly in English ONLY on Saturdays from 3 to 4 PM – Confessions in Spanish are not available at this time (Confesiones en Español no disponibles actualmente)
