Prayer and Bible Groups
St Michael's holds a number of regular prayer groups throughout the year.

Activities that are being discussed and encouraged include:
- Attendance at the “Faith on Tap” activities for the 18-35 year olds of the parish, on the second Monday of each month. “Faith on Tap” encourages young adults to be active in their faith and create a vibrant and rich Catholic culture. This flows through to our parish in building a stronger and closer young community.
- Participation in the regular church responsibilities, such as altar serving, reading at Mass, operating the projectors, singing, music,...
- Holding a young–person-facilitated Mass.
- Consideration of other social and faith-related activities.
