It's always a joy to see our parish family out in the community!

Fr. Alex enjoyed visiting the Shelby County Fair last week and had the opportunity to congratulate some outstanding young exhibitors from St. Michael Parish who earned top honors in the Dairy Feeder Calf competition.

Pictured (left to right): Fr. Alex, Will Rethman, Finley Gehret, Sean Bornhorst, Ryann Bornhorst, and Cora Bornhorst.

Congratulations to these young parishioners on all of their hard work and accomplishments at the fair! We are proud of you and grateful for the many ways our parish families share their God-given talents throughout our community.
