TODAY Saturday, April 25th is a very significant date in history.  There have been two times in history that St. Michael the Archangel appeared on April 25th, after prayers had been said to stop plagues. The first time was on April 25th, in the year 590, in Rome.  Pope St. Gregory the Great, after leading people in prayer saw St. Michael the Archangel along with other Angels descend above the crowd, a heavenly perfume filled the air and the plague ended on that date. The second time St. Michael intervened during a plague was on April 25th, 1631 in Tlaxcala, Mexico.
I know many us of have been praying daily during this current pandemic. Fr. CJ and the Spiritual Life Committee are asking you to pray the Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel on Saturday April 25th.  Please remember that when we pray with great faith, prayers and yes, miracles can happen.
The Chaplet of St. Michael has been attached.  Pray this Chaplet with an intent heart to ask Our Lord, through St. Michael with the intercession of the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph and all the angles and saints to end this plague in this current time.
Remember prayers united in true faith and firm belief from the faithful is powerful. Let us pray to St. Michael to hear us and lead us to victory. St. Michael, pray for us.
