Saint Michael’s Parish Mass & Picnic Sunday September 29

Saint Michael’s annual parish picnic takes place on Sunday, September 29, the feast day of Saint Michael the Archangel.

That day, in place of the 11:00 and 12:00 Masses, there will be a special 11:30 Mass which will be followed by festivities, including: live music by John Polino, face painting, crafts, games and a bouncy house.  There will be a barbecue with cold drinks, fresh popcorn, cotton candy, desserts, and slush.  Tickets are just $5 per person or $20 a family. 

The picnic will take place in the parking lot on the corner of Winthrop Street and Ocean View Steet (Saint John the Evangelist Church), but will be moved inside the parish center if it rains.  Donations of soda and Capri-Suns are being accepted and can be dropped off in advance.

Tickets can be purchased at the door, at the parish office during the week, or by using Venmo @StMichaelParish.  All are invited to enjoy fellowship, food, and fun!
