Fr. Zachary of the Mother of God
EWTN Mass
May 21-22, 2019
Many of you have enjoyed Fr. Zachary's visits to our parish for missions over the years. He is celebrating Mass on EWTN this week.
Missionary Appeal
May 25-26
This weekend (May 25th and 26) we welcome Fr. Thomas Vellappallil, MS a Missionary of Our Lady of La Salette for our annual Mission Appeal.
Having brought the fullness of Life to our world when He rose from the dead, Jesus sent his disciples to share this life with all of creation. "They went forth and preached everywhere" (MK 16:20). The Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette minister to people of every race, language, culture and way of life--beginning at the La Salette Shrine in France where our Blessed Mother appeared in 1846. Her final words, "Well, my children, you will make this known to all my people," echo Jesus' Gospel mandate. It is little wonder that the La Salette Congregation has always been mission orientated. When called upon by the Vatican to preach the Gospel in foreign lands, they eagerly responded. This spirit brought them to mission in 27 countries, especially among the poor in Angola, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Haiti, India, Madagascar, Myanman, Tanzania the Philippines and most recent, Mozambique. With your cooperation, the Missionaries of La Salette can continue to provide spiritual and financial assistance to these mission countries as they bring God's reconciling message to the poor.
Please prayerfully consider how you can support the important work of Fr. Thomas and the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette. Envelopes will be in the pew, or use any envelope and note "Mission" on the outside.

Power in My Hands
Saturday, May 25th at 6:30 p.m.
Gathering Space
“Power In My Hands” is a film that uncovers the beauty, timelessness and power of the rosary. Its primary purpose is to help viewers understand the power to revitalize America – a society in spiritual crisis, and instill an active response to the Blessed Mother’s plea for prayer. Hope through Jesus Christ is the ultimate goal of this film.
Throughout history, humanity has been urged to respond to great needs and spiritual crisis. In modern times, this has been seen from the pleas of St. Pope John Paul II to Pope Benedict XVI to Pope Francis. And the Mother of Jesus Christ has called upon humanity to respond as noted in various major approved apparitions. We have only to look at the messages given at Fatima, Akita in Japan, Kibeho in Africa and most recently in San Nicholas in Argentina approved by the Church in 2016.
In Power In My Hands, prominent individuals and others will not only present the beauty and power of the rosary, but also share their personal witness to this power in one’s hands. Additionally, the film will feature unique stories of ordinary families and individuals from across America. Here are a few from the cast of the film.

Additionally, the film will feature unique stories of ordinary families and individuals from across America. Here are a few from the cast of the film.
- Philip Rivers, quarterback for the NFL Los Angeles Chargers (formerly San Diego Chargers) , gives witness, as a husband and father of eight children. He shares how his Catholic faith and reliance on the rosary plays a part in his athletic career and daily life.
- Jeff Cavins, Biblical Scholar reveals the scriptural roots of the rosary.
- We’ll hear from the Nancy Salerno, a wife and mother in Wisconsin, who has raised four children, one of whom is severely disabled and how the rosary has carried her through the many ups and downs of raising a special needs child.
- You’ll see the beautiful courtship of two young Catholics from Nashville – Rebecca Roubion ( young recording artist ) and Chris Czarka – as witnesses so needed for young people today.
- Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers from Portland gives a beautiful witness to being raised fatherless, and how miraculously, his father was later moved in a radical conversion to faith and resulting peace.

Catholic Services Appeal
The 2019-20 Catholic Services appeal has begun! Our goal this year is $80,417, we are asking each family to prayerfully consider a pledge of $325. We realize not all families can support CSA at this level. We ask that you do what your situation allows. If each of us contribute even a very small amount the goal can be attained. All funds donated to CSA in excess of our goal are returned to the parish and are not subject to archdiocesan assessment nor do they impact our future CSA goals. The single best way to support a parish is to support their CSA. The entire goal must be paid, if not through parishioners then out of regular offering fund. The below video will provide you more information on how your CSA dollars work for the good of the Archdiocese.
Tuition Assistance Available

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!
