The two steeples represent St Michael and St. Timothy. The line underneath is a symbol of unity, as one parish, one body, serving others with love through our community service.
Faith In Action Together (FIAT)
Faith In Action Together (FIAT) is the ministry at St. Michael dedicated to leading and/or supporting community service initiatives at our Parish. It's how we put our faith into action—by serving those in need around us.
Who Can Be Part of FIAT?
Everyone! Every parishioner and friend of St. Michael is invited to be part of FIAT. We are all called to love and serve God by helping others.
What Does FIAT Do?
FIAT offers, organizes or supports a variety of outreach initiatives that allow our parish to serve those in need, especially in neighboring communities. Each initiative is unique and provides a different way to get involved. Some may invite us to donate goods or money, while others call on us to volunteer our time. There are also opportunities to connect personally with individuals where they are, offering support in their place of need. No matter the age, schedule, or ability, there's always a way to put our Faith In Action Together.
