St M Closed on Monday
A friendly reminder that on Monday, January 20, St. Michael's is CLOSED for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday is a National Day of Service, inspiring us to renew our commitment to serving one another and strengthening our communities. Across the nation, Americans will honor Dr. King’s legacy through acts of kindness, community service, and civic engagement. We invite our families to do the same.
