NOTE: February's meeting
is rescheduled to February 20
Dominus Est-It is the Lord!
Why receive on the tongue? So that no part of Our Lord is lost. "Such a loss would be the mutilation of your own Body. Why if you had been given gold-dust, would you not take the utmost care to hold it fast, not letting a grain slip through your fingers, lest you be so much the poorer? How much more carefully, then , will you guard against losing so much as a crumb of that which is more precious than gold or precious stones? " St. Cyril of Jerusalem
In the administration of the Eucharistic Sacrament, one must demonstrate a particular zeal, so that no fragments of the consecrated Hosts be lost since in each particle is present the entire Body of Christ. Therefore, one should take the greatest care that fragments do not easily separate from the Host and fall to the ground, where -horribile dictu!- they could become mixed with the garbage and be trampled underfoot.
Pope Pius XI
Pope John Paul II recognized the need to guard the sacredness of the Eucharist:
"This must always be remembered, perhaps above all in our time, when we see a tendency to do away with the distinction between the "sacred" and "profane", given the widespread tendency, at least in some places, to desacralize everything. In view of this fact, the Church has a special duty to safeguard and strengthen the sacredness of the Eucharist. In our pluralistic and often deliberately secularized society, the living faith of the Christian community-a faith always aware of its rights vis -a-vis those who do not share that faith-ensures respect for this sacredness.
"With ardent desire, inflamed by the fire of the holy love for God, those about to receive Communion draw near, reciting the profession of faith in the Crucified Lord. After the recitation of that prayer, each one no longer approaches the priest, but the flaming Seraph. The faithful open their mouths to receive from the holy spoon the burning charcoal of the Body and Blood of Christ." From Meitations on the Divine Liturgy by Nikolay Gogol
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you commemorate our Lords death until his coming. 1 Cor 11:26
Eucharistic Adoration
Join us Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. until 6:45 p.m or this Friday following 7:00 p.m. Mass until Midnight
Come to thank Him, pray to Him, just be with Him who created you and gave His life for you.

PRAYER OF SPOUSES FOR EACH OTHER
Lord Jesus, grant that I and my spouse may have a true and understanding love for each other.
Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other
in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each
other's strength. Help us to forgive one another's failings and grant us patience, kindness,
cheerfulness and placing the spirit of putting the well being of one another ahead of self.
May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year. Bring us both
ever closer to you through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection. AMEN

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!
