St. Michael  Parish

We're continuing our beloved tradition with our second virtual offering.  We’re all ready with items to be auctioned off, baskets and crafts for sale, and some fun raffles!

So that all parishioners can participate, our virtual call center is ready for you!  Bids on the auction items and gift purchases will be taking place over the phone on December 4th & 5th, from 12 noon until 3 o'clock pm. You can watch the winners of all our prizes announced on our website that Sunday evening.

Our Music Director and Master of Ceremonies,  John Kelly, introduces our Christmas Fair. 
(As seen on Facebook!) 

Our jolly ol' pal SANTA is sharing his excitement for this year's Christmas Fair with you all - and a couple of his favorite priests!  He highlights a few of our high-value items, and invites families to drive by and see him at St. Michael on 12/4 from 9-11:30am! 

Kids - Say your prayers, love your neighbor, and stay on the Nice List!  Santa had to run for now, but he'll be thinking about you as he gives thanks for Baby Jesus and gets his reindeer ready for another journey.  Remember to visit him on December 4th.  Parents - Contact Susan Breton (religioused@stmnh.org) if you'd like your kids to get a gift bag. :)  
God bless you and Merry Christmas!

Our Big Money Raffle and Great Grocery Gift Card Raffle are both happening again this year!  You could be a big winner!

Thank you to everyone who has already purchased/delivered their tickets, and an especially big thanks for those who donated grocery gift cards!  There's still time to drop them off.  Haven't gotten your chances to win yet?  Reach out to John Kelly today: music@stmnh.org.

Results of our Auction and Raffles will be posted right here on this site by 7pm on December 5th.  We'll also be sure to give you a phone call if you're a winner.  Good luck and God bless!

*NOTE: Please do not put your raffle tickets in the offertory basket at Mass on December 4th & 5th or they won't get counted!  You must drop off your tickets to the parish office by Thursday December 2nd, look for specific ticket collection buckets in the church, or see one of our social committee members to submit in-person.  Thank you!
