Four Knights of Columbus Council 11369 members along with other parishioners from St Michael Parish updated the ceiling lights inside the church in the early part of November.

The council agreed to rent the equipment to reach the ceiling, while a generous parishioner who wished to remain anonymous donated the LED bulbs.

It took several days, but Father Tery Hazel wasa thrilled that the church is bright with light once again.

Some of the bulbs along the ceiling had been burned out for years, and one of the fixtures had recently fallen off the ceiling and was hanging by the electrical wires, necessitating an emergency repair.

All the fixtures were checked to be sure they’re safe.

The ceiling lighting is critical for the church during 4:30 Saturday Mass during the months of November, December and opart of January, when it’s dark after dismissal.
