The St.Michael African Ancestry Community is a ministry for
gathering and involvement of the local African Ancestry community
in activities, prayer and social events. The ministry is the St.Michael

Evangelization Network(AAMEN). This ministry strives to support
St.Michael and the diocese by establishing an active African
Ancestry Community and invites the entire St. Michael community to

The Altar Serving Ministry is a great opportunity to begin influencing
intentional discipleship with our youth at a young age and is open to
youth and adults alike.The Altar Serving Ministry is responsible for
recruiting, training, and scheduling altar servers for weekend,
holiday and holy day Masses. Recruits for this ministry generally
come from our 10 year old and older congregation.

Grief, often the most profound form of sorrow, demands the support
and compassion of our fellow human beings. Since the beginning of
time, people have come together in times of grief to help one
another. Grief support groups provide an opportunity for this kind of
help and support.
The St Michael Bereavement Support Group meets weekly in the
Conference Center, for a 12 week series – contact us to find out

Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to
receive the gift of contemplative prayer in which we experience
God's presence within us; closer than breathing, closer than
thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is
both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that
relationship.
Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered during the Sunday Masses
at St. Michael Church from Sept. through June, with the exception
of liturgical holidays. CLOW welcomes all children ages 4 through
third grade. At the beginning of Mass children are called forward
and dismissed with catechists. The children return to Mass during
the offertory. The ministry is operated as a parent co-op and
parents are required to volunteer as a lead or assistant catechist
once every 2 months.
This Ministry helps to provide and preserve a welcoming and wellmaintained columbarium environment. Volunteers participate in
regular clean up and other duties around the columbarium area.
Volunteers work in teams of at least two members and all
equipment and supplies will be provided. This is a wonderful
opportunity to show respect for those in our parish community who
have preceded us in our faith journey.

two-years of faith development prior to receiving the Sacrament.The
Confirmation Faith formation program prepares candidates to fully
understand the meaning of this Sacrament. It invites candidates to
deepen their relationship with God, affirm their faith, and live their
faith in the world.

Extra-ordinary Ministers assist with distribution of Communion to all
parishioners at Masses, hospital, homebound and nursing home
services. Selection and training required. This is a very rewarding
ministry that enables you to be more involved in the celebration of
the Mass by having close contact with members of the community
when distributing the host and the precious blood. With the many
Masses we have each weekend, we always need more Eucharistic
Ministers.
Fair trade is a trading partnership based on dialogue, transparency,
and respect that seeks greater equity in international trade. It
contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading
conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers
and workers – especially in the Global South. In conjunction with
Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Fair Trade Ambassadors at St.
Michael support Fair Trade with an ongoing focus on Fair Trade
awareness and promoting the sale of Fair Trade goods.

Since parents have given children their life, they are bound by the
most serious obligation to educate their offspring and therefore
must be recognized as the primary and principal educators. That is
why we support a Home Schooling option for our Faith Formation
programs and our faith community provides the necessary
guidance and support where needed to accomplish their
educational goals. Families are provided curricula, texts, and
activities that tie into the traditional faith formation programs while
providing families the flexibility to meet their educational needs.

long as help is needed. Relationships are established with

As one of the Social Action Ministries at St. Michael, our group was
formed in 2000 and is fully engaged with the parish leadership of
Honduras Sister Parish, Nuestra Senora de Suyapa. Over the
years, there have been multiple visits by representatives of both
parishes in both directions to acquaint each other with one
another’s respective parish, culture, challenges and blessings. The
generosity of the St. Michael Parish community, along with the
many volunteers who have served on our committee, has helped
our Honduras Sister Parish make dramatic improvements to their
living conditions and quality of life. We continue to be excited about
the progress that has been made in improving the health, education
and spiritual life of the parishioners of our Sister Parish.

As the ministers who welcome our parishioners and visitors to our
Masses every weekend, the Hospitality Ministers are some of our
most important. Some of the primary duties of the Hospitality
Minister include: greeting and seating parishioners, passing out
mass aids, reserving pews as required, taking up the offertory
collection, selecting parishioners to present the gifts for Communion
and distribution of bulletins and materials at the end of mass.
Ushers are trained to handle emergencies. We are seeking a wider
representation of our parish demographics to include young and
old, male and female, families and friends.
The primary focus and purpose of the Immigration ministry is
“strengthening the Presence of God through dedication to social
justice." The goal of the Immigration ministry is education of our
parishioners around this complex set of issues using as a
foundation our Catholic Social Teachings and the guidance of the
United States Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
As a member of Christ’s servant community, St. Michaell is a
participating congregation with The Center for Volunteer
Caregiving. St Michael Interfaith Volunteers serve with other Wake
County faith congregations and service partners to answer calls for
help from disabled and elderly neighbors. Frequent requests for
help are received by the parish Pastoral Care Ministry.

The Diocese of Raleigh requires that all couples preparing for
marriage in the Church complete an online Fully Engaged
assessment which is used to evaluate the engaged couple's
compatibility. This questionnaire covers topics such as faith,
communication skills, in-laws, finances, sexuality, etc. This tool is
intended to help the couples become attuned to matters where
there appear to be differences. The mentor couples review the
assessment results with the engaged couple and facilitate further
dialogue using their own experience to help the engaged couple
prepare for married life and continue to encourage their journey in
the Catholic faith. Mentor couples are trained by the Diocese or our
St. Michael team and are given a facilitators manual. Mentor
couples are assigned approximately 1 couple each month and will
meet with their assigned engaged couple for generally 1-2
meetings.
Insures that each Mass has sufficient altar servers, lectors and
Eucharistic Ministers, and that equipment is working and in place.

For more than 20 years, parishioners of St. Michael have been
providing meals to migrant workers in the Fuquay-Varina area.
During the summer, the meals are brought to the Parish Center at
St. Michael and then driven to St. Bernadette in Fuquay. St.
Bernadette's migrant workers attend Mass and later stop at the
church's cafeteria to enjoy the meals the volunteers provide.
Through a team of volunteers, we provide meals to church or

Social Action
This ministry provides prayerful support to victims of domestic
violence through compassion, information sharing, education, and
referrals. The St. Rita Ministry was developed in partnership with
INTERACT of Wake County, to bring awareness, understanding,
and education to the St. Michael and Cary Communities, and to
offer referral assistance to Interact, local law enforcement agencies,
Triangle Family Services, the DOSE program, and other supportive
agencies.

brothers and sisters in need by bringing food items or monetary
donations to make the food baskets.
