St. Michael’s upcoming IHN non-in-house hosting week will be September 13 -17. Please help by volunteering to prepare and deliver dinners for the four families housed in the IHN “Day House” on North Tejon St. The dinner deliveries are very safe with no contact between families and volunteers, and are a meaningful way to make a big difference in the lives of the families.

To update our Breeze database and prepare these directories, we are asking for you to send in a current family/household picture, as well as a picture of each individual within your home. Please CLICK HERE for instructions on what kinds of photos to send. Email your photo(s) to the following email address: directory@stmikeschurch.com.
