Feast
of St. Michael and All Angels
September
29th
Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels takes place
on Thursday, September 29th
The Feast of St. Michael and All Angels or
Michaelmas is a day in the Western Christian liturgical year that
occurs on 29 September. In medieval England, Michaelmas has
delineated time and seasons such as the ending of the harvest and
beginning of making out financials accounts for the year. The
name Michaelmas comes from a shortening of "Michael's
Mass," in the same style as Christmas (Christ's Mass) and
Candlemas (Candle Mass, the Mass where traditionally candles used
throughout the year would be blessed).
Although very little is known about the Archangel
Michael, in Christianity he is known as the greatest of all the
Archangels and is honored for defeating Satan in the war in
heaven. He is one of the principal angelic warriors, seen as a
protector against the dark of night, and the administrator of
cosmic intelligence.
In Anglican and Episcopal tradition, there are
three or four archangels in its calendar for 29 September feast
for St. Michael and All Angels: namely Michael, Gabriel and
Raphael, and often, Uriel. The Bible itself identifies only
Michael as "the archangel" (Jude:9).

Kwanzaa Kitchen: Janis has
been able to come up with a unique way in which we will continue
to feed the hungry in this important ministry. It involves fewer
than 6 people and we will pack the food to go and place it
outside on tables for people to take their breakfast with them.
We will continue this way until we are able to gather groups
together again.
