Today we celebrate the Synaxis of the Archangel Michael and All Bodiless Powers. The Holy Angels are celebrated on the ninth month of the year (the Roman calendar began in March) as there are nine ranks of angels, namely the Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Authorities, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. The eighth day was chosen as this is known as the day that the Lord will return in glory and judge the living and the dead. In particular, we celebrate the archangels Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jehudiel, Barachiel and Jeremiel, and the chief commander among them, the Holy Archangel Michael. The holy Angels are seen constantly throughout the Old Testament and continue to perform countless miracles even today. May the Holy Bodiless Powers intercede for us always + #saint #saints #angel #angels #saintmichael #saintgabriel #stmichael #stgabriel #archangel #archangels #archangelmichael #archangelgabriel #rank #bodiless #God #power #messenger #orthodox https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckq7JNQrvyt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The featured antique Russian icon depicts Saint Michael, the Horseman of the Apocalypse. Crowned and blowing a golden trumpet, the great captain of the Heavenly host raises the Book of the Gospels and thrusts the spear into the mouth of the winged devil. In the clouds depicted in the left corner, Christ appears in the sky and blesses the leader of His army. The icon was painted by an anonymous icon painter in Russia in the 19th century.

What would you wear to the met gala if u had the chance

! I think I would go full halloween costume and do something with blood and guts. This could range from a very simple Carrie (dress + blood) to something less sticky like below (ID in alt). Definitely taking inspiration from that one scene in martyrs. The cool part about it though would be using crystals, beads, embroidery and other shiny things for the meat and blood so it looks gross but everything is really high quality.

ALTERNATIVELY I would go with a basic suit and tie but a mask and make up so I look very fucked up from the front :) Something like these pics by Rob Sheridan (Gore themed image edits + IDs under the cut)

#gore #< not real but its there #thank you for the question!! #this is a scenario I rotate not infrequently :] #asks #stmichael #I actually would love to do something like the bottom pics for halloween #that or a mask

I like to call on St Michael for protection, guidance, and to help me let go. Regardless of your beliefs, you can call on him and if you ask with sincerity, you will be amazed by the results. If you are overwhelmed, let him help by cutting the cords of attachment and shielding you from harm. I hope whatever you are going through, that your burdens will be lightened and your path made clear. #StMichael #SundaySermon https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIkC2PpZHdZfqSHVWuqFh4jwSBz5gPCaEN7wY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The guardian of the church in Penn Yan

By Jonathan Monfiletto

The first Catholic services in Yates County likely took place well before Yates County was even a county and even before the first permanent European settlers arrived in the area. And it took more than 60 years for the first Catholic church to be established in the village of Penn Yan.

According to an article dated 1998 on the history of St. Michael’s Catholic Church, from our subject files, two French traders – the men named DeBartzch and Poudre who are spoken about in various circles of local history – had set up shop in the 1780s near the Seneca village of Kashong on the west side of Seneca Lake near place known as Ben Barton’s Landing. They were visited by a priest from Oswego, who held a religious service with Seneca of the vicinity making up the primary audience. In this case, the priest was following on the footsteps of Jesuit priest who had worked to convert the Iroquois tribes to Catholicism more than a century before.

Prior to 1847, Father O’Flaherty, of Geneva, came to Penn Yan and performed Mass in the courthouse or in a schoolhouse located near Fox Mills or in the home of Mrs. Mary Mulligan, according to the article. However, it wasn’t until 1847 that the Catholics of Penn Yan had a more permanent place for their services when Mr. Thomas Hendricks opened his Pine Street (now Keuka Street, off the south side of Elm Street) home to his fellow Catholics. An Irish immigrant who came to the United States and almost directly to Penn Yan that year, Hendricks and his family made up the bulk of the congregation – as he and his wife had 14 children.

Nevertheless, Hendricks was disturbed by the lack of a Catholic church in the village, so in 1849, he collected to funds to build a church across the street from his home, located on the east side of Pine Street. Abraham Wagener, the man considered the founding father of Penn Yan, gave the land to build the church, which was constructed in six months in 1850 at a cost of $2,200 and dedicated in honor of St. Michael. In Catholicism, St. Michael the archangel is the leader of the heavenly forces as well as the angel of death and the guardian of the church.

A little more than 30 years after its establishment, the church opened a parochial school of the same name; funds for St. Michael’s School were raised in September 1881, and the building was dedicated in September 1883. Today, the school remains in its original location on Keuka Street, site of the former Yates County Fairgrounds; an acre of land, either part of all of the fairgrounds, was purchased for $1,200. The cornerstone for the 37-by-61, two-story-high brick building was laid May 14, 1882, and the construction cost $6,400.

About 20 years later, a little more than 50 years after its formation, St. Michael moved from Pine Street to Liberty Street, on property owned by Leon Lewis – the mysterious editor of the Penn Yan Mystery – with the back of the lot almost directly across from the site of the school. The cornerstone for the new church was laid on May 12, 1901, and the building was dedicated on June 15, 1902. The Lewis home was turned into the rectory for the church, while the horse barn on the property was converted into a convent.

In March 1931, The Chronicle-Express reported on planned improvements at church to include the installation of a new altar and a new organ and the addition of an auditorium in the basement. The article states the church seating capacity would remain at about 500, while the auditorium – to be used for both church and school events – would have around the same capacity. In 1950, the church planned a weeklong centennial celebration starting September 24 with a slate of festivities and activities.

In November 1965, a fire broke out in the basement boiler room of the church, but quick action by firefighters from Penn Yan and Dresden kept the blaze contained to the basement. The incident happened on a Saturday, but services occurred as usual the next morning. A 1975 newspaper article by the Rev. Thomas F. McVeigh highlighted the church’s history on the occasion of its 125th anniversary. That history continued in 1988 with further renovations to the building, highlighted by the uncovering of the St. Michael window. The window depicting St. Michael is situated directly behind the altar but had been closed off since the 1931 project.

Meanwhile, much like the church, the school – which is under the supervision of the Sisters of St. Joseph – also underwent extensive renovations in 1931. Yet, a more major project for the school came in 1954 when the facilities were expanded; a school designed for 130 students was experiencing overcrowding with a student body of 200. The plans called for adding two classrooms and remodeling three to accommodate 260 students and five teachers in the school. A fund drive was launched to raise $100,000 for the project, and a little more than $50,000 was raised in the first week. The 1954 school year opened that September with 211 students at St. Michael’s, and the six-classroom addition to the existing school building opened in April 1955.

St. Michael’s School fell on hard times, though, beginning in 1970, when it announced that March it would drop its seventh- and eighth-grade classes at the end of the school year due to rising operating costs. At the time, the school had 171 students and a staff of three nuns and five lay teachers. The following year, at the beginning of 1971, the parochial school board initially recommended closing the school because of decreased enrollment and then decided the school would remain open when parents and parishioners declared their support.

St. Michael’s School celebrated its centennial in 1982, but then six years later in 1988 it cut its sixth-grade class when only five students from the fifth grade were scheduled to move up. The new millennium brought further hardship for the school, as it launched the “Secure Our Future” fundraising campaign in 2007 – conjunction with its 125th anniversary – with a goal of $1.25 million over the next five years. The goal, according to one newspaper article, was for the school to stay relevant amid financial pressures and a changing educational landscape. That didn’t stop the school from, in 2008 with its enrollment at 110, being under consideration for closure by the Diocese of Rochester.

Yet, in 2016, St. Michael’s marked its 135th anniversary by noting its student body increased from 82 to 90 children in grades K-5 and a pre-kindergarten program for 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds. And, the school and the church are still standing and still serving, the school in the same location it has been for more than 140 years and the church a few blocks away from where it started almost 175 years ago.

Personal Chapter

Before it all, I was a careless human being.  I didn’t look left and right before crossing the street. I didn’t use my signal lights before turning. I didn’t care what others would feel. I didn’t clean up my table when I dined in restaurants. I didn’t wash the dishes I used. But, I still flushed the toilet whenever I’m done using it though.  In short, I was an asshat. (hole) I didn’t care if my life would end in a minute. YOLO Vibe. I drank until I couldn’t. I smoked cigarettes for breakfast, because we didn’t have money to buy breakfast. I longed for the high nicotine gave me with an empty stomach. I remember hiding my lighter, but my mom would always find and take it.  I was always short-tempered. (As I am now, but not as short-tempered). Fights would always start because of my words. I could hurt anyone I want with just words. And make them feel better with words as well. I had my fair share of great word play before. (Thanks, medieval movies) 

I always had this human touch wherein I could influence anyone according to my will. I can make you smoke this cigarette I’m holding, I can make you drink this beer etc. All I had to do was to make you curious. All fun and games. But there comes a day when I realize what I was doing was wrong. Be it a day, an hour or even 30 minutes. There’s always that moment when you reflect a little. 

I guess the turn around for me started way back in high school. See, I was a student in a catholic high school. Where I learned the ways of the catholic, their practices and all. I had a catholic family growing up. Specially with my mother’s side. They were very religious. Always praying to different saints. We had small statues of saints in our house, a carving of “The Last Supper” by the dinner table, rosaries, novenas, sacred photos of the Virgin Mary. We would celebrate The Holy Week by fasting and praying. So, when I entered high school, there was little to no difference at all. During my first and second year in high school, I was a member of the school’s chorale. But due to an incident regarding alcohol (No, I didn’t go to the annual star gazing for freshmen drunk with my friends, who does that anyway?), I had to spend my 3rd and 4th year as a member of the Student Council. Fast forward to my last year in that school. I had quite an interesting (but fun) years. Spent 4 years of my life in this school, I might as well. I’ve known every entrance and exit of the school. I know where the lovers “spend time”. I know which part of the school is haunted. I knew where to go and where not to go. I knew the place like it was the back of my hand.  So, spending the 4th and final year in that school we had this retreat program. Typical for catholic schools. A whole class is transported to an isolated place to focus, pray, repent and appreciate. I actually had fun on that trip. I enjoyed it. Because I got to know more about my classmates. I saw how vulnerable everyone was. I saw them cry. Hell, even I cried my nose out.  We were made to confess to a pastor there. We confessed our sins and wrong doings and pray. So, I did. And it was like the first time I did a confession, I felt so down, as if I’m being held down. After the confession and prayer, I felt light. As if the world wasn’t on my shoulders. (It never was).  After that, we were made to realize the importance of those around us. A week before the trip, we would receive letters known as “Retreat Letter”. It consists of words that people want to tell you. How they appreciate you as a person. There may even be a letter that confesses their feelings for you.  We all read our letters. Not only were the letters from the students of the school, the letters could also come from your family. And yes, I got one from my mom which I burst to tears while I was reading it alone under a tree. I couldn’t finish the letter without crying. 

That retreat made me realize things. The importance of people around you. Those who appreciate you. It’s like as if my eye had been closed and was opened. 

After high school and shortly during college, we relocated our home. Quite far from the city and lifestyle I grew up knowing. I had two feelings about it, though. One is that I won’t be seeing my friends quite so often. Two is that this may be a good thing, new surroundings and new people. And I was a teenager then, so what say do I have? 

I was always 

Comparing my life before to what I have now, there’s a very significant difference. And I feel different. I try to be better everyday.  I got inked with The Archangel, Michael. Why? Known to defeat the Devil. Banished the Devil in its dragon form. 

I intend to defeat my own demons.  In every day. In all ways. I will not let them win. I am stronger. For myself. For my family.
