Lastest News Beyond the Pews: July 22, 2026
Dear Friends & Family of St. Michael the Archangel,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a hidden treasure and a priceless pearl. Those who discover these treasures joyfully give up everything because they recognize their incomparable value.
Christ invites us to ask ourselves: What do I treasure most? Each day we are called to choose His Kingdom through our faith, love of neighbor, service, and trust in God. Like the faithful scribe, may we cherish the timeless truths of our faith while finding new ways to share the Good News with others.
Reflection Question
What is one thing you can do this week to show that Christ and His Kingdom are the greatest treasure in your life?
Death Notice
It is with sadness that I share the passing of former parishioner Edward John Salisz. During his retirement in Canadian Lakes, Edward faithfully served as a Knight of Columbus and as an usher at St. Michael Parish.
Please keep Edward and his loved ones in your prayers.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
