Parishioners can also go to www.dioceseaj.org/giving.
All funds donated (after a small surcharge fee) will be credited to St. Michael and we will be made aware of your continued generosity.

DID YOU KNOW..........that the stained glass window of St. Michael the Archangel in the side door of the church is the only original window from the 1983 renovation. This window probably dates from the 1913 church and was in the back over the main entrance.
St. Michael The Archangel
Before the 1983 renovation, the other windows were lightly colored glass.
Fr. Elwood Figurelle, pastor at the time, designed the stained glass windows that we have now. Fr. Figurelle did not actually do the drawings, but rather suggested all of the scripture and symbols. The windows give the history of salvation, and because Fr. Figurelle was not the best speller, they do include two misspelled words!
Fr. Figurelle is also responsible for the beautiful woodwork that is in the church. Being a master carpenter he did the staining and designing of the elegant tongue and groove wood paneling. Also the Stations of the Cross on the hillside which still today invite us, in the midst of our daily lives, to take time for prayer and reflection.

Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the
wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do
thou O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the divine power, thrust into hell
Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of
souls. Amen.
