Join Our Parish Family
We welcome all who wish to become members of the Church of St. Michael. Joining our parish family is much more than filling out a registration form. We wish to meet you in person, and we invite you to become an active part of our community.
We welcome you to worship with us at Mass - daily and weekly - and we encourage you to pray anytime in the St. Faustina Adoration Chapel. If you have young children, be sure to check out our excellent faith-based education at St. Croix Catholic School and St. Croix Valley Faith Formation. We also invite you to browse our Web site for information about the many opportunities to get involved at the Church of St. Michael.
As a new member, you will be encouraged to prayerfully consider the gifts of time, talent and financial support you might be able to give back to God through our parish family. As Christians, we are all called to be stewards of the gifts God gives to us so we can continue to build His Church. At St. Michael, we take that responsibility seriously and answer it earnestly and prayerfully.
We hope that you find St. Michael a warm and welcoming community. We are glad you're here!
How to Join the Church of St. Michael
Call Julia Tollafield at the Parish Office at 439-4400, ext. 199 or 200, or e-mail your name to jtollafield@costm.org. Julia will invite you to attend Registration Sunday to learn more about all that St. Michael has to offer.
Registration Sundays are held after the 11:00 a.m. Mass on the fourth Sunday of each month. New members are invited to gather in the Social Hall to meet members of the Hospitality Committee, pick up welcome packets, enjoy refreshments and socialize. Our pastor will present an overview of St. Michael's sacramental programs, youth and adult faith formation programs, pastoral outreach opportunities, councils and social events.
Please also plan to have your picture taken at Registration Sunday. This helps our clergy and staff connect names with faces and get to know you as time goes on.
Finally, you will be asked to complete the parish registration form. While officially the final registration task, we really see it as the starting point.
We strongly encourage new members of St. Michael to attend one of the monthly Registration Sunday gatherings. If you are unable to attend but would like to register as a new member, please complete the parish registration form and return it to the Church of St. Michael, 611 S. Third St., Stillwater, MN 55082.
