The parish of St. Michael is home to Bridgetown - the capital of Barbados. So-named for the bridges over the Careenage, Bridgetown is the center of commercial activity in Barbados, as well as a central hub for the public transport network. Also found in St. Michael are: the local mental institute, commonly called Jenkins; several schools, including the prestigious Harrison's College; various government offices such as the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Industry and International Business.
St. Michael also houses the international seaport of Barbados - the Deep Water Harbour. A large percentage of the tourism traffic the island experiences arrives on cruise ships from various lines such as Royal Caribbean and Cunard. The harbour features several sugar towers for loading locally produced sugar into transport ships, and a tower for loading flour for transport.
SaintMichael School is a Catholic Christian community serving children from early childhood through grade eight from our parish community and the Greater Merrimack Valley.
We pledge allegiance to SaintMichael School and fidelity to its ideals of faith, loyalty and truth.
SaintMichael School and Parish bears no responsibility for the accuracy, legality or content of the external site or for that of subsequent links.
With no resident pastor, the parish was variously cared for by the Benedictine Fathers of Chicago, the priests of St. Joseph's in Lockport, the Benedictine Fathers from Blue Island, and the Jesuits of Ignatius College, Roosevelt Road in Chicago.
In 1973, a portion of the southeast corner of the parish was disconnected to become part of the newly formed St. Julie Billiart Parish in Tinley Park.
This committee was to prayerfully study the needs of the parish and its development of lay ministry, and to arrive at a model of structure for St. Michael's.
