St. Michael The Archangel Parish at 4001 Navarre Ave, Oregon, OH 43616 US - Home
Welcome to our web site! St. Michael Parish welcomes you and looks forward to serving you. St. Michael Parish has served Catholics in the Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan areas for over 85 years. Our parishioners come from many walks of life to practice the Faith according to the Byzantine Tradition. Many descendents of our founding families still worship here and several families have come to us by invitation or even by accident! Come and pray with us and feel the presence of God around you. Our Sunday Divine Liturgy is at 10:30 am. We are located on Navarre Avenue, (Ohio Route 2) between Coy Road and Lallendorf Road in the City of Oregon. That's just a little west of Pearson Metropark. If you're traveling eastbound we're on the left; if you see the park, turn around and watch for us on your right! If you're traveling westbound look for us on your right just after the park. If you can't find us call the Parish phone; on Sundays call 419-698-9485. If necessary, we will send out native guides!
