Thank you to everyone who supported our first ever Parish Garden this year.  It began as a dream and blossomed into a reality. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of several parishioners, including children during Vacation Bible School, we harvested over 980 pounds of produce, including Basil, Green Beans, Beets, Broccoli, Carrots, Red and White Cabbage, Cauliflower,  Collard Greens, Corn,  Cucumbers, Kale, Leaf and Romaine Lettuces, Onions, Peas, Green Peppers, Pumpkins, Radishes, Spinach, Summer Squash, Swiss Chard, Roma Tomatoes, Yellow and Red Cherry Tomatoes, Watermelon, and Zucchini which was donated to both the Winthrop Food Pantry and the Chrysalis Food Pantry in Gardiner.  

We learned a lot from our efforts this year and look forward to planning and planting our 2022 Garden. We'd love more parishioners to become involved, so if you would like to help with these efforts, please contact Frank Cuff at 207-660-8050 or ftcuff59@gmail.com.

St. Michael Parish seeks to realize the Gospel message of peace and justice in our parish, our community, and our world by offering opportunities for education, service, and advocacy using our God-given gifts of time, talent, and treasure to promote the common good.  

What do we do: We organize collections of furniture and household items for local service organizations; we organize Thanksgiving Baskets and Giving Trees at Christmas; we provide workshops and courses on topics such as hunger, racism, end-of-life issues, papal encyclicals on peace and social justice, and integrating prayer life and service.  
 
Who can join: Anyone with an interest in service, education, and advocacy for social justice in the Catholic tradition. We love new energy!  

When do we meet:  The Second Tuesday of every month at 7pm.  

Where do we meet: During COVID times, we meet online via Zoom. Otherwise, we meet at the Sacred Heart Hall at 11 Summer Street, Hallowell.
