A Note from Your Pastor
Jesus talks to his disciples about his suffering, death, and resurrection. But Peter immediately answers that no such thing must happen. He does not understand since for him the Messiah is meant to be a glorious figure. Jesus tells him not to think merely by man's standards but by God's. And he sees before him no longer just Peter but Satan. This is because Satan is putting a stumbling block, pushing for a soft and sweet life instead of what Jesus is teaching about fidelity to God in the form of suffering. Consequently, Jesus reminds his disciples that if they want to be his true disciples, they should be prepared to suffer, saying: "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."
Jesus is realistic in facing suffering in this world. He works to improve the lives of the people who suffer. At the same time, he points out that every struggle or experience of suffering always ends up in new life when we carry it in obedience to God and with a joyful disposition.
In Jesus,
Fr. Nonito
The Mass: A Slice at a time
Christ’s faithful who are in danger of death, from whatever cause, are to be strengthened by holy communion as Viaticum. (Canon 921.1). All those who have been baptized and are able to receive communion, whatever the cause, intrinsic or extrinsic, of the danger of death – sickness, old age, fire, shipwreck, death penalty, etc – are to receive the Viaticum.
Canon 921.2 Even if they have already received holy communion that same day, it is nevertheless strongly suggested that in danger of death they should communicate again. – In this case, the canon limits itself to recommending communion in view of the moral bond between communion already received on that same day and the danger that has arisen.
Canon 921.3 While the danger of death persists, it is recommended that holy communion be administered a number of times, but on separate days.
Religious Education Update
Due to the current COVID situation, St. Michael’s Faith Formation classes will not be starting this September. It is our believe 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 will send 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.
Thank you to Lyle Tucker for donating materials and making a sign for St. Michael’s Office.
Face Masks
Menominee Tribal Legislature requires all residents and visitors to the Menominee Reservation age 10 and older to wear a face mask covering any time they are in contact with other people who are not household members.
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

2020 FUNDRAISERS $7,655 of $10,000
Due to COVID-19, the 2020 fundraisers at St. Michael’s have been suspended until it is safe to resume. We would be grateful for monetary donations to offset the loss of this source of revenue ($10,000) to keep our Parish solvent. Please mail or drop off donations at the Parish office or drop in the collection basket indicating it is for fundraising. We need $2,245 to reach our goal. Thank you for your continued support of our Parish during this time.
Each one of us is chosen to become ever closer to our Lord...
Let us spend some time regularly in reading from the New Testament and in contemplation of Christ on the cross. Then we can better examine our conscience and ask Jesus to make us more like Him.
