An Archangel is a Spirit who has a particularly important message to deliver, such as Gabriel gave to the Blessed Mother. As human beings, we are not called in this way to be "angels." But one of our important roles as the Baptized is to be "prophetic witnesses." To be a prophet is not restricted to announcing the future, although that might be the witness we are called to make. Rather, to be prophetic means to speak the Word of God through word and action. To be a prophet requires one to be familiar with, faithful and docile to God's Word.
 
Father Joseph

"Whether you have studied Sacred Scripture for many years or are opening the Word of God for the first time, trust that your efforts will be pleasing to God, and prove to be rewarding for you as well."

Pre-Baptismal classes are designed to help parents and godparents understand their important roles in the baptism of their children. They will learn about the importance of the sacrament and how to guide their children through a lifelong relationship with God and the Catholic Church. We believe that through these classes, parents and godparents will be able to understand better their responsibility to the spiritual formation of their children. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith and to become better prepared for the baptism of their children.
 The classes are now scheduled for the second Thursday of each month. 
 "The next English and Spanish classes will be on October 10th, at 7 p.m." Registration is required, please contact Diane Salazar in the Family Life office, at 972-279-6581, x107, or email DianeS@stmichaelgarland.org.  This will be the last class for the year. No classes during December.
 

There are no baptisms scheduled in December

If your child is older than 6 years old, contact Sherri Williams, extension 108, or Georgina Salinas extension 109.

The Diocese of Dallas continues its preparations for the Dallas Synod this year, Bishop Burns has asked that Catholics in the diocese pray for the successor of the synod and the growth of the Catholic faith in our diocese.

The pastoral plan will conclude on December 12, 2031, with a large Mass to celebrate the 500th anniversary of our Lady of Guadalupe’s appearance in San Juan Diego and the conclusion of this decade-long journey of faith and revitalization.

Our Lady of Guadalupe… Pray for us.
