I'm not a great big fan of the Catholic Church. I'm not very religious, in fact, I'm aetheist. However, my mother made me go to this church practically every Sunday when I was growing up, and architecturally it is a beautiful place. So beautiful, in fact, that the statue of the archangel outside often gets its sword stolen from his hands!
St. Michael's is over 160 years old and is rich with history. The school is now the School of Choice for the Flint Board of Education. I remember having to go to "Sunday School" every Sunday for too many years of my life.
Though I do not like going to church, I feel that the other parishoners of this church really care about it. Depending on the pastor, the only problems I've ever heard about are pastors who do not support marriages where someone who isn't Catholic is involved. read more
