| Sunday
School |
Purpose: The Saint Michael Archangel Parish
Sunday School program provides faith development to the Faith Community ages
5-Adults. Sunday School meets Sundays through out the School year from
10:00-11:00 in the Parish School. For more information follow the
Faith Formation
Information link Needs: We rely on the faith community of St. Michael Parish for our teaching staff. This is a
voluntary commitment. The Diocese of Grand Rapids now requires teachers to be
“certified Catechists”.
They must attend workshops and retreats to maintain the required hours for
each level of teaching. The Faith Formation director reports these
hours to the Diocesan office. These certifications are meant to be a
spiritual boost to the teachers and also to keep them informed of the latest
updates. They are meant to help them with their
own faith knowledge to pass it on correctly and help those who may not be quite so
confident in one aspect or another of teaching. Primary Contact:
