Mark your calendars! We will celebrate the Feast of Pentecost on Sunday, June 8, with a bilingual Eucharist and potluck lunch at 11:00 am in Wilshire Park. This gathering is earlier this year so that more people might be able to attend and participate in this festive Sunday event.
There are a couple of exciting events coming up for the youth group. First, next Sunday, May 18, will be the end-of-year celebration for the middle- and high-school youth from all services. Meet at 5:00 pm to share Eucharist together followed by pizza and games.
St. Michael’s parishioners and friends of the parish are enthusiastically to participate in an all-ages and all-parish Pentecost Art Show on Saturday, June 7, 2025.

After Evensong, enjoy a festive reception with more time to enjoy the art work on display!

Light incense will be used at this service.
