St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church

What St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church does

St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church is a Catholic parish located at 5394 Midnight Pass Road on Siesta Key in Sarasota, Florida, operating under the canonical authority of the Diocese of Venice. The parish was established as a mission church in 1958 (Father Joseph Daley, selected by Archbishop Joseph Hurley), was dedicated in 1960, and was elevated to parish status in 1968 to serve the growing Catholic population on Siesta Key. It is led by Pastor Rev. Michael J. Cannon with a paid staff of approximately 12 people across liturgy coordination, administration, accounting, digital media, religious education, music, maintenance, and housekeeping. The parish administers the full seven Catholic sacraments, celebrates weekend and daily Mass, offers reconciliation and Eucharistic adoration, runs an OCIA program for those becoming Catholic, and operates a Religious Education / faith formation program for children in kindergarten and older. It also sustains more than 20 named ministries including Prayer Line (nearly 100 intercessors handling over 1,300 petitions in 2023), Prayer Shawl, Respect Life, Hospital/Homebound, Liturgical Ministries, and the Women's Guild (active since 1964).

The parish's product surface is delivered through a hybrid physical and digital model. On-site worship operates on a published schedule (Saturday Vigil 4:00 pm, Sunday 8:00 am and 10:00 am, Monday-Friday 9:00 am; Saturday confession 3:00-3:30 pm; Tuesday adoration 9:30 am-3:00 pm). Digital delivery runs on YouTube livestream plus an RTSP embed for live Mass, Flocknote email distribution, Facebook/Instagram/X social channels, and a Wix-class website built on WeConnect/LPi. The church building was comprehensively renovated and reopened in summer 2022 after seven months of structural repair; the parish is now constructing a new Ministry Center with groundbreaking expected by the end of 2025 to expand faith formation and outreach capacity.

Revenue is generated through a diversified donation model: recurring weekly, monthly, and annual offerings collected both in-person and via the WeShare online giving platform; the diocesan Catholic Faith Appeal; monthly Outreach Ministry collections for local food banks and community causes; Women's Guild annual dues ($20) and fundraising activities (speaker luncheons, raffles, social events); and ticketed special events (e.g., concerts at $25/person) supporting the Building Fund and Ministry Center capital campaign titled 'Re-Ignite the Flame! Re-Light the Way!' The customer base spans year-round parishioners, part-time/seasonal Florida residents, and tourists/visitors drawn by the Siesta Key location, with online livestream extending reach globally to homebound members and former parishioners.
