From the Pastor:
There will be a special “second collection” on the 2nd weekend of each month to allow anyone and everyone to participate in providing the new statue of our parish patron, Saint Michael, for our Church. The carving was created in Italy and has been positioned in the area to the right of the Tabernacle as a Shrine to Saint Michael. Thank you in advance for your combined generosity to this project. The shrine was blessed and dedicated at the 11:30 Mass on September 29 by Bishop Bonnar.

Monthly Weekend Social Hour - second weekend of the month.
We will have wine and cheese after the 4:00pm Mass on Saturday and Coffee and Donuts between the 9:00 and 11:30am masses on Sunday. Please plan on joining us as we seek to spend more time with each other.
YOUNG AT HEART
Our next Young at Heart will meet on Monday, January 13 with Mass at 11:30 and lunch and a presentation to follow.
TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT FOR FATHER LAVELLE
Bishop Bonnar has asked that I assume the temporary role of Administrator of the newly merged Saint Pope John XXIII Parish in Niles (the former Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Stephen Parishes). This is in addition to my responsibilities as Pastor of Saint Michael Parish, Canfield; Vicar for Missionary Discipleship; Diocesan Director of the Office of Development and Stewardship; and Diocesan Director of the Office of Communications. Father Bala Marneni will assist in the sacramental ministry of the parish while I will attend to the administration of the parish, along with an occasional weekend (possibly monthly). Thank you for your understanding during this time. It should be no great disruption to our schedule or activities here at Saint Michael.

FITNESS FUN is a safe one-hour total body exercise workout, which includes a warm-up, weight training, body conditioning and toning exercises, both standing and on the floor, low impact aerobics, and a cool down. All exercises are choreographed to Christian and popular music of the present and the past. The class meets every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00am to 10:00am in the lower level of the Parish Hall. Interested persons may join anytime.
Please wear comfortable clothes, proper shoes, and bring a mat for floor work.
OPEN GYM FOR WALKING
The Family Life Center Gymnasium is now open four days a week: Monday through Thursday, from 9:30am to 11:30am. Parishioners are invited to come and walk for healthy exercise and companionship. Walkers are requested to stop in the open meeting room across from the restrooms to store their coats and change from outdoor boots and shoes to indoor athletic or walking shoes—required to protect the FLC floor. Now there is no need to go to the mall to exercise. This is a great opportunity right here at home to walk your way to a healthy lifestyle. Please enter through the side door.
