Mission Statement: St. Michael’s Christian Community, located on the Menominee Indian Reservation, is a diverse Christian community reaching out to all residents, learning, loving, sharing and communicating with one another through the teachings and practices celebrated in the Mass & the holy sacraments of the Catholic Church by integrating sacred symbols and spiritual practices of the Menominee.
A note from your Pastor:
"Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" This is a legitimate, hotly debated issue during the time of Jesus. The same question is posed by the Pharisees and Herodians to trap Jesus. He knows the question is formulated to incriminate him however he answers. If he says yes, Jesus will be aligning himself with Herod and the hated Romans; if no, he will win the sympathy of the crowds who are burdened with over taxation, but can be accused of instigating a revolution against the Romans.
Jesus asks for a coin used to pay the tax. They hand him an imperial coin stamped with the image of the emperor and the inscription - Tiberius Caesar, son of divine Augustus. "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" When the crowds answer, "Caesar's," Jesus replies, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God."
Jesus calls us to be good citizens by promoting always the country's welfare. But also reminds us that since everything belongs to God, the highest praise and honor always belong to God.
A final thought for this Mission Sunday: "The Christian faith remains ever young when it is open to the mission that Jesus entrusts to us. 'Mission revitalizes faith' in the words of St. John Paul, a pope who showed such great love and concern for young people."
In Jesus Christ,
Fr. Nonito
The Mass: A Slice at a time
In the eucharistic celebration, in accordance with the ancient tradition of the Latin Church, the priest is to use unleavened bread wherever he celebrates Mass. (Canon 926)
It is absolutely wrong, even in urgent and extreme necessity, to consecrate one element without the other, or even to consecrate both outside the eucharistic celebration. (Canon 927)
The Institutio generalis Missalis romani, considers the possibility, which must be removed with every possible precaution, that after the consecration, or when the moment of communion arrives, the priest should realize that he has not put wine in the chalice, but water or some other liquid. In this case, “he pours the water into another container, then pours wine with water into the chalice and consecrates it. He says only the part of the institution narrative related to the consecration of the chalice, without being obliged to consecrate the bread again. Naturally, this does not apply to the case in which there are an insufficient number of consecrated wafers for distributing communion, in this case, the sacrifice is already consummated and complet
Religious Education Update
Due to the current COVID situation, St. Michael’s Faith Formation classes will not be meeting. It is our belief that “Parents/guardians are their children’s primary and principal educators”. This guideline and philosophy of the Bishops’ of the United States is our motivation. We are sending packets to help teach children about God’s love and our Catholic faith. Every month we will send out a month’s worth of weekly lessons that go along with the Gospel reading of the week with other teaching materials about the traditions of our Catholic faith. If you wish to have the packets sent to your home, please call the parish office or pick up a form in the entrance to church.
Sidewalk by Church
You may have noticed that a large portion of the sidewalk in front of the church and on the side has been replaced. We received a donation from Mary Dvoratchek, Hard Rock Sawing and Drilling to pay for this. Thank you for thinking of St. Michael in helping to keep our property maintained.
St. Michael Prayer
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

How to Build a Culture of Life
Watching the news and reading the headlines, we may feel helpless seeing the heartbreaking lack of respect for human life. How do we respond? Changing the culture is a process of conversion that begins in our own hearts.
When we encounter Christ, experience his love, and deepen our relationship with Him, we become more aware of our own immeasurable worth and that of others. His unchanging love is the source of our God-Given dignity, which, therefore, cannot be taken away. When someone is facing great trials, we need to walk with them on their journey, intercede for them, and be open to sharing Christ’s love however He directs. We simply need to follow where He leads.
