Saint Michael’s Feast Day today

The Archangel Michael. Russian Byzantine icon. 2nd half 14th

As you know, today is the feast day of Saint Michael the Archangel and angels and it is a holy of obligation for members of our parish.

The Divine Liturgy will be served:

~at 9:00 a.m. in Ukrainian
~at 7:00 p.m. in English.

Saint Michael who says of himself that he is “who stands always in sight of the Lord. And undertaking to protect this place and the people of this land, I resolved to demonstrate by this sign that I am the watcher and guardian of this place and all things which are done here.”

As we celebrate the presence of Saint Michael and the Angels in our midst, let us remember that we are not alone in this life nor in the next. The Angels dwell among us (that’s why your parish church is never empty!).

Let us pray for one another through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel and the angels.
