Each one of us is called to holiness, to become like Jesus. As Catholics we believe that this journey is life-long and culminates in us one day becoming saints. At St. Michael we offer a wide variety of opportunities for adults to grow in knowledge and love of the Lord and community with fellow believers.

Fall Opportunities
What We Believe: The Beauty of the Catholic Faith
Wednesday evenings beginning September 14
Do you get nervous if someone asks you a question about God or the Catholic Church? This fall we’re offering a series that will help provide some of the background you might think you’re missing. In this video-based program, we’ll explore the key teachings of Catholicism while touring the churches and historical sites of Rome! The three key topics are: Who We Are, Our Faith, and Our Life. Each week will include a 30-minute video and small group discussion. Each of the videos is self-contained, so if you can’t make it each week, that’s ok – come as often as you can. We’ll have some snacks each week while we watch the video and chat. There is no cost to participate, but you can order the accompanying book, workbook, and one year of video access for $30 if you prefer.
We’ll meet in the Fellowship Hall from 6:30 – 8:00 PM Wednesday evenings from September 14 – December 7, though not October 12, 19, or November 23.
The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy (Men’s group)
Wednesday evenings beginning September 7
Much of the Old Testament can be difficult to understand, but Jesus referred to the prophetic books a lot in his own teaching. The prophets proclaimed the consequences of continued sin, called people to repentance, and declared God’s faithful love. In this video-based series, we examine who the prophets were, their role during their time, and the meaning of their messages for our own time. Join this men’s group to discover how God is constantly calling you to a deeper relationship as well as the ways you are called to be the voice of God to others. There is no cost to participate, but you can order the accompanying book, workbook, and one year of video access for $30 if you prefer.
We’ll meet in the Siena Room from 7:00 – 8:00 PM Wednesday evenings from September 7 – November 9.The Chosen, Season 1
Sunday mornings beginning October 2
While many of our students are gathering for their religious education classes in the school, everyone else is invited to watch the very popular series called The Chosen in the Fellowship Hall. This made-for-TV series focuses on the life of Christ and those who journeyed with him. We’ll gather for snacks while parents get their students settled in classes, then start the video about 9:45 AM each week – most videos are 40 to 55 minutes, so there is time to pick up children after the video and/or get to the 11:00 AM Mass. There’s no need to sign up, simply come when you are able! Note that we will not show the videos on the third Sunday each month when the religious education students meet along with their families. We will provide some activities for younger children during the videos.
We'll meet in the Fellowship Hall from 9:45 - 10:45 AM Sunday mornings from October 2 - December 11 (except for the third Sunday of the month and October 23).
