MOST RECENT MUSICAL MEDITATION
Alive and Breathing
This is the last of our virtual choir projects for the 2020-2021 Choir season. This stunning song was written by contemporary Christian artist, Matt Maher and has a characteristic driving drum beat. Our Pastoral Musician and Coordinator of Social Justice Ministries, Jeff Fricker created this beautiful accompaniment, which our choir members used to practice and record.

Church Statements on Vaccines
Father Benson joins the bishops in encouraging vaccinations at this important time. U.S. Bishops write that receiving vaccines “ought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community.”
Because of the ways in which the vaccines were developed, and with the aim of forming our consciences and culture to promote respect for human life, the bishops ask us to receive the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines if we are given the opportunity to choose a vaccine. But recognizing that often individuals do not have a choice of which vaccine to receive, Bishop Kevin Rhoades, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Doctrine, notes that, "the Vatican has made it clear that all the COVID vaccines recognized as clinically safe and effective can be used in good conscience."
Thank you for being vaccinated, as a way of protecting yourself and your family, and also the most vulnerable during this time of worldwide suffering.

Bishop's Appeal and Bishop Bonnar's First Pastoral Letter
Two-thirds of this appeal goes to the work of Catholic Charities, and the remainder supports diocesan ministries that our parish relies on. With the pandemic these ministries have become even more critical, and especially the needs of Catholic Charities, which is serving more and more people.
Considering this great need, the diocese has set an ambitious goal of $4 million, and our parish goal is $195,800. Our parish has been a leader in this campaign in the past, and we are asked to lead again this year. As of June 2nd, St. Michael's parishioners have committed over $150,396.30, which is over 77% of our parish goal. We are now second in the diocese in total dollars committed. Commitment envelopes are available in the gathering space, and you can donate online below.
Thank you for supporting Catholic Charities and our Diocese.
Bishop David Bonnar has also released his first pastoral letter,Testify to the Light. In it, Bishop Bonnar offers encouragement to the diocesan Church during this pandemic, invites us to make prayer a priority, and suggests an exciting path forward for our diocesan Church.
