Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
GospelLK 19:41-44
As Jesus drew near Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If this day you only knew what makes for peace– but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
Men of Faith
Is meeting with fellow men of our parish and growing in your faith of interest to you? If yes, we invite you to join us every Wednesday from 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM on the St. Michael’s south lanai! We will reflect upon the prior Sunday’s readings and discuss how they can positively impact our lives. Special invitation: The last Wednesday of each month is extra special as we have a potluck dinner in the Grace Parish Center beginning at 5:30 PM. Please join us!
Stewardship is not just a one-time act — it’s a way of life for Catholics. It’s about recognizing that everything we have comes from God and using our time, talents, and treasure to serve Him and others. One powerful way to live out this calling is by actively participating in parish hospitality ministries, serving as ushers, greeters, and lectors during the Mass. These roles not only enhance the Mass experience but also allow us to share our gifts with our parish community.

Lectors: The Proclaimers of the Word
Lectors have a unique and profound responsibility in the Mass. They bring the Word of God to life through their readings. Becoming a lector allows you to live out stewardship by:
Sharing the Scriptures: Proclaiming the Word is a sacred duty, and lectors have the privilege of bringing the teachings of Christ to life. This act of service inspires reflection and deepens understanding among the congregation.
Enhancing Spiritual Growth: Lectors deepen their own understanding of Scripture and spiritual growth as they prepare and share God’s message. It is a personal journey that enriches the lives of others as well.
Ushers: The Guardians of Order
Ushers play a crucial role in maintaining a sense of order and reverence during the Mass. Their responsibilities go beyond seating parishioners — they are stewards of the worship space.
Veterans and their Ohana, please join us on Monday, November 11 at the grotto following the 7am Mass. We invite all to attend to pray the Patriotic Rosary for our country. Contact Erin, 808-478-6071 for more details.
