November: Remembering the Holy Souls
During November the Church honors and remembers all the Holy Souls who have gone before us. We can assist them on the journey by earning indulgences to be applied to them.
Indulgenced Acts for the Faithful Departed
There are many indulgences, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, that can be obtained during the month of November. From the fourth edition of the Enchiridion of Indulgences, 1999:
Indulgenced Acts for the Faithful Departed
There are many indulgences, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, that can be obtained during the month of November. From the fourth edition of the Enchiridion of Indulgences, 1999:
- A plenary indulgence, applicable only to the souls in purgatory, is granted to the faithful who,
- on any and each day from November 1 to 8, devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, if only mentally, for the departed;
- on All Souls' Day (or, according to the judgment of the ordinary, on the Sunday preceding or following it, or on the solemnity of All Saints), devoutly visit a church or an oratory and recite an Our Father and the Creed.
- A partial indulgence, applicable only to the souls in purgatory, is granted to the faithful who,
- devoutly visit a cemetery and at least mentally pray for the dead;
- devoutly recite lauds or vespers from the Office of the Dead or the prayer Requiem aeternam (Eternal rest).
- Incorporating Indulgences Acts Through November and the Year
- A partial indulgence can be obtained by devoutly visiting a cemetery and praying for the departed, even if the prayer is only mental. There are a few cemeteries that have car paths, allowing one to "visit" even if you stay in the car. St. Mary’s Mount Calvary Cemetery located on Huron River Dr between West Jefferson and Fort Rd is does have a circular drive.
- The "Eternal Rest" prayer gains a partial indulgence and can be prayed all year. Passing a cemetery and praying the "Eternal Rest" can help out the souls in need.
- Requiem aeternam dona ei (eis), Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei (eis).
Requiescat (-ant) in pace Amen. - Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Faustina: Love and Mercy
One Day Only October 28th at 7:00 pm
Phoenix Theaters, 2121 N Monroe, Monroe, MI 48162
In 1931, Jesus appeared to Faustina Kowalska as the King of Mercy. Clothed in a white robe and emanating two large rays from his side, one white and one red, He asked Faustina to paint this image of Himself along with the phrase, "Jesus, I trust in You" and to spread the message of mercy around the world. He promised that anyone who venerated this image would not perish. The gripping new docudrama LOVE AND MERCY presents unknown facts and recently disclosed documents that shed new light on the vision of Faustina.
Aided by scientific analysis, the film reveals how the Divine Mercy image and the Shroud of Turin were compared to one another to stunning conclusions. Dramatically recreated scenes between Saint Faustina and her confessor Father Michał Sopoćko traces the story of the origins of the image and how the devotion to Divine Mercy was born and spread throughout the world despite a ban of the devotion by the Catholic Church. Shot in the U.S., Poland and Lithuania, the film is a compelling hybrid of dramatization and documentary-style storytelling that will leave viewers in awe of this spectacular account of divine friendship.

Did you know St. Mary has a
St. Vincent de Paul Society?
Consecration of Families to the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary
The First Friday/First Saturday Communion of Reparation with its basic elements of Rosary, Eucharist, Confession and Holy Hours of Adoration is a simple yet powerful means of bringing back sanctity in the home, in the Church, and in society. More than a devotion IT IS A WAY OF LIFE that is truly Eucharistic –centered and Marian in spirituality- two pillars of hope which we can anchor ourselves onto in these troubled times. Prayer and Reparation are the spiritual weapons which the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary give us today to win in this spiritual battle.
If you have not had your family consecrated to the Two Hearts please consider this important act. The consecration will include going through the house with excised water and salt as we pray the rosary and a few additional prayers. It generally takes about an hour for a lifetime of benefits. This is more than a house blessing, rather it is a consecration of families, which includes extended family no longer living in the home, to the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary. For more information or to schedule you family consecration please call Betty at 734 671 1987.
Join the Parish
Why should you join the parish? If you want to get married, have a child baptized, be a godparent or confirmation sponsor you need to show you are attending Mass. The only way we can determine if you are here is if you drop an envelope in the basket. It's fine if the envelope is empty, it tells us you are here and that is what's important. Our faith calls us to attend Sunday and Holy Day Mass and to regularly receive the sacraments of Eucharist and reconciliation. You can complete the form below and return to the parish office via the collection basket, mail or email. You can use the envelopes in the pews or a blank one from home with your name until your individual envelopes come in the mail. Please understand it's about your attendance at Mass, not what may or may not be in the envelope!
