Spiritual Communion Prayer Please join in praying this prayer on your own when it comes time for the Communion Rite.
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
Many people have asked how they can continue to financially support St. Michael Parish when Masses are suspended. As you may know, the St. Michael operating budget is 100% dependent on offertory donations throughout the year. About 45% of our donations come through electronic giving, primarily through WeShare and autodraft. The balance of giving comes through the Sunday collection.
With the suspension of Masses, we will lose about half of our income.
It is also true that during this crisis, many people will suffer financial hardship through the temporary loss of employment, a reduction in investment-based retirement income, or the need to support other family members. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is ready to assist during this time.
Keeping in mind both of these realities, we ask that you consider the following, remembering that no one is expected to financially endanger themselves or their family:
