Bereavement Ministry

We are offering a six session series for those who have experienced the death of a family member or a friend. For details about the schedule and how to register, contact the Parish Office at 410-665-1054. St. Michael’s currently ministers to the grieving by providing a funeral choir at most funeral liturgies as well as celebrating an Annual Mass of Remembrance on November 2 (All Souls Day) each year. We would welcome a chair for this committee who could develop an outreach to those in grief.

Parish Nursing Ministry

Parish Nursing is for registered nurses interested in sharing their expertise by caring for others’ holistic health needs of body, mind, and spirit. Parish Nurses coordinated such events as blood pressure screening, arrange for flu vaccinations, organize health fairs or speakers of interest to our community, or any other of a range of activities. There is never any hands-on care or invasive procedures. If you are interested, contact the Parish Office at 410-665-1054 or E-mail the Parish.


Helping Hands Committee

The Helping Hands Committee is a group of parishioners who offer assistance to those who are in a pinch and need help with errands, food shopping, a ride to the doctor or church, etc. or require relief for a caretaker. Committee Chair: Jane Oakjones. If you have a need or would like to help when available, contact the Parish Office at 410-665-1054 or E-mail the Parish.

Pastoral Care of the Sick

Pastoral Visitors minister to the sick and homebound of our parish community. They are commissioned Extraordinary Ministers of Eucharist and provide the opportunity for those who are physically incapable of attending Mass to receive Holy Communion on a regular basis. If you are interested in participating in this ministry or know of a parishioner who could benefit from the services of a pastoral visitor, please contact Deacon Henry Davis at 410-665-1054, Ext. 109.

Respect Life Committee

The Respect Life Committee exists to encourage members of our community to embrace a consistent ethic of life; that is, life is sacred from conception to natural death. In holding to the Catholic Church’s teaching that all life possesses human dignity, we seek to encourage awareness regarding the evils of abortion, euthanasia, violence, homelessness, hunger, capital punishment – anything which compromises human dignity or seeks to replace God’s role in the life cycle.

The Respect Life Committee supports alternatives to abortion, specifically by supporting the local pregnancy center through the annual rose sale. Other activities have included a sleepout for the homeless and participating in the spiritual adoption program. 

If you are interested in joining, contact the Parish Office at 410-665-1054 or E-mail the Parish.
