Prophetic Voting
As a "Prophetic Voting Parish," St. Michael's joins parishes throughout the diocese to encourage marginalized and Catholic voters to vote our values on November 8th. Our "Prophetic Voting" team invites you to join us this Sunday, September 11, for our first "Voter Activation Night." From 3:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. we will be in the church basement calling and encouraging registered voters to vote. Please bring your cell phone and your "ear buds." We will be using a dialer, so your phone number will not be given out. Find out more about this exciting project by visiting www.diocesefwsb.org/social-justice.
