Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

St. Michael Nativity Card 2024

This year, St. Michael Women will be sending out a Nativity Greeting to all our parish members. This isn’t just a greeting card – a portion of the proceeds of this year’s Nativity card will be going to the CLERGY WIDOWS FUND. These women who have dedicated their lives and their families to the church will always be our “Khourie” / “Presvitera” / “Matushka” – even after they suffer the loss of their priest-husbands. This fund will cover some of their needs for utilities, food, shelter.

The order form for the Nativity Greeting has been mailed out. If you would like your name on the St. Michael Nativity Card, please fill out the form and return it no later December 15, 2024. Please make your donations out to St. Michael Women and write ‘Nativity Card’ in the memo. You also have the option to donate via VENMO.

We thank you for your continued generosity.

You can download the Nativity Card 2024 Order Form.

It’s BACK-TO-SCHOOL time of year again! Cataumet Village, a transitional housing facility in Falmouth, supports families coming out of homelessness. These clients, mostly mothers and children, are getting ready for back to school and need our help. We are filling backpacks for 15 children this year and collecting items and monetary donations to be brought to St. Michael by August 18. Add your name for the items you would like to purchase to the list:
