“Mass for Troubled Times” on St. Michael’s Day, September 27
For the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, our Sunday morning liturgy will feature Missa in Angustiis by Joseph Haydn.
Composed in 1798 during a time of political uncertainty in Europe, Haydn’s Missa in Angustiis (“Mass for Troubled Times”) reflects both tension and hope. The work later became associated with the Battle of the Nile and the victory of British Admiral Horatio Nelson, from which it gained its popular name, the Nelson Mass. Widely regarded as one of Haydn’s greatest sacred works, the Mass is notable for its dramatic intensity, powerful choral writing, and brilliant interplay between soloists and orchestra.
Admission is free. Open to the public. No RSVP needed. All are welcome!

Why Does the World Exist?
Why Does the World Exist? A New Conversation Starts at Men’s Fellowship
Big questions. Good conversation. Strong coffee. The Men’s Fellowship Group at St. Michael’s gathers every Thursday at 8:30 a.m. for fellowship and thoughtful discussion—no prior Bible knowledge required, just an open mind and a willingness to explore faith and life together.
A new book is beginning: “Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story” by Jim Holt — a fascinating exploration of one of life’s biggest questions: why is there something rather than nothing? With curiosity, humor, and insight, Holt investigates the mystery of existence by engaging scientists, philosophers, and thinkers from around the world.
Come as you are, bring your questions, and discover where the conversation leads.
