Thank You!

We offer our sincere gratitude to all who, in so many visible and unseen ways, give their time, talent, treasure, and prayer to the life of our parish. Through the many ministries, services, events, and works of charity that sustain our worship, formation, and care for one another, you make Christ present in this community. Whether your service is public or hidden, regular or occasional, planned or offered in quiet generosity, it is received by the Lord and bears fruit for His Church.

Together, through your faithful service, our parish continues to live, grow, and proclaim the Gospel. Thank you!

We also want to extend a special Thank You to Fr. John for his continued service to our Parish. May he have a safe & fruitful visit home and a Most Safe Return back to San Miguel and her Missions!

Jubilee

During this year, twenty-nine parishioners became Jubilee volunteers keeping San Miguel Church open during the day and welcoming pilgrims as well as tourists to our church as part of Jubilee 2025. Parishioners have also participated by praying the Jubilee prayer in support of the Jubilee at the end of each Mass.

A total of 511 people signed the Pilgrimage book. That represents pilgrims from 30 states and 11 foreign countries.
Many of the pilgrims wrote comments in the Pilgrimage book and all were favorable. Here are just four of them.

“This is a beautiful church, so full of history.” - S.T. Orange County, California 

“Thank you for accommodating our group and sharing information on this beautiful church.” - M.Y. Tucson, Arizona 

“Very good presentation. Thank you for restoring and maintaining this church.” - M.C. Indianapolis, Indiana 

“This is a breathtaking, heavenly church. Thank you San Miguel, pray for us.” - C.D. Bucuresti, Romania

There is no doubt we have a magnificent church that we should be proud of.

We are very appreciative of and thankful for every volunteer that helped make this Jubilee year a success. Thank you all for your devotion and dedication. May God bless you abundantly.
