Mother Seton Comes to St. Michael
A first class relic of St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton has been gifted to St. Michael Catholic Church from Emily Glover of Cleveland, GA.
Back in the fall of 2019 Deacon Ken Lampert was the bishops MC up at St. Paul Catholic Church in Cleveland for Confirmation there. While serving there, he talked with Emily Glover, a parishioner at St. Paul’s, and asked if she would consider donating one of the saint’s relics in her chapel at home to St. Michael, since our parish did not have a relic for our altar. Emily is a direct descendent of Pope Innocent X, and the relics she has have been passed down through the family.
Just recently while Emily was praying in her chapel, Mother Seton told her she wanted to come to St. Michael.
After Easter we will plan to have a special Mass to honor the relic of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. For now, Mother Seton’s relic is in our chapel next to the monstrance near our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Archbishop’s Annual Appeal 2021
Today we wish to recognize those who not only support St. Michael but also have made a gift or pledge to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. On behalf of those who will be served by your contributions, thank you to all who have made their pledge for 2021.
For those of you who have not had an opportunity to make a pledge or a gift this year, pledge envelopes are available in the narthex or at our St. Michael office.
When each of our individual gifts are combined with the gifts of thousands of other Catholics throughout the archdiocese, each contributor makes a very real difference in the ability of the archdiocese to provide for ministries and services. Thank you again for your support.
Let us pray for the repose of the souls of those who died in the poultry plant accident involving liquid nitrogen on Thursday, Jan. 28th, 2021 here in Gainesville.

Counting Our Blessings Needs You!
At St. Michael we have a wonderfully dedicated team called,

If you can commit to two hours per week every Monday
morning, and are good with counting and details, please email
Deacon Ken at k.lampert@saintmichael.cc and let him know

Announcement for the wearing of
facemasks at Mass due to Covid-19
facemasks at Mass due to Covid-19
We would like to remind all Mass attendees over the age of 7 years old, that we are required by the Archbishop of Atlanta to wear protective facemasks and social distance during our Mass celebration. The Centers for Disease Control have stated, “the wearing of protective facemasks are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus”. Thank you for showing your care and respect for all of our brothers and sisters around us.
If for any reason you cannot wear a facemask throughout the entire Mass, please see an usher and they will find space for you in the social hall or in a classroom downstairs where you can watch the Mass on Facebook live.
