    For more information, email Jo Ann at [email protected] or Sharon at [email protected]  

    Bible Study – The group studies and discusses a specific book or theme of the Bible each semester, a wonderful community way to learn and pray God’s Word. For more information 
    email Ted Close at [email protected]

    Evangelization – This ministry invites our friends, families and neighbors, to experience the richness of our Catholic faith life at St Michael the Archangel; through our beautiful liturgies, social events, and providing opportunities for spirituality, fellowship, and service. For more information, send email to 
     Teresa Murphy at [email protected]

    Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) – OCIA is a modern form of the ancient custom used in the first centuries of Christianity for admitting new members into the Church.  This journey of formation is for people who have not been baptized, were baptized in another Christian tradition or baptized Catholic and desiring to receive First Eucharist and/or Confirmation.  The OCIA journey is concerned with the total formation of the person: learning about the Catholic community (doctrinal formation), living within the Catholic community (practical formation), praying with the Catholic community (liturgical formation) and serving the Catholic community (apostolic formation).  For more information, please contact St. Michael's by phone at 518-283-6110 or via email at [email protected]

    Vocation Awareness – This Ministry promotes awareness of all vocations: the priesthood, consecrated life, marriage and lay ministry opportunities.  The Vocations Awareness ministry pray for particular guidance from their patron, the Holy Family. Through community prayer and activities involving families, such as making Advent wreaths or building gingerbread houses or playing whiffle ball, the members foster a parish appreciation of vocations, and a focus on increasing vocations, especially the need for priests.  Members support and encourage our seminarians with prayers, gift cards, birthday and other special occasion remembrances.  For information contact Bill Prendergast, at  [email protected]
