About this church

St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Parish serves Findlay from a parish church on Bright Road and a downtown chapel. At the Bright Road church, the weekend calendar lists Saturday Mass at 4:30 p.m., then three Sunday choices: 8 a.m., 10 a.m., and noon; the downtown chapel has Sunday Mass at 9 a.m. The Saturday vigil is livestreamed. Weekday Mass at the parish church is 6:45 a.m. Monday through Friday, with additional Wednesday Mass at 12:10 p.m. downtown and Saturday Mass at 8 a.m. The parish also publishes extensive Wednesday and Saturday confession hours and Eucharistic Adoration on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and First Fridays.

Founded in 1834, St. Michael identifies itself as Hancock County's only Roman Catholic parish and reports more than 3,200 families. Its PreK–12 parish school averages about 500 students and includes a mission of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. Children ages three through twelve can join Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, which combines Scripture and liturgy with Montessori principles and hands-on materials. Music ranges from classical choral repertoire to gospel and folk traditions; the noon bilingual choir incorporates Spanish readings and music. Parishioners also serve Christian Clearing House, Hope House, City Mission, and the Women's Resource Center, or bring Communion to people in hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes.
