November, 2020
The dispensation for Mass has been extended until Tuesday, February 16th, 2021.
Masses (sacraments and devotions) will continue under the present liturgical guidelines. We will continue to offer our current Mass schedule Tuesdays through Sundays as well as continue to offer confessions, baptisms, weddings, funerals, and Eucharistic Adoration times.
The Diocese has prohibited other scheduled parish events and parish gatherings and they are detailed here:
We offer Eucharistic Adoration in our chapel on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
If you would like to be put on our sub list for this ministry, please contact Jess Jenkins at [email protected] Your support for this ministry is a great blessing to our parish!
Bishop Boyea has declared a Year of the Bible in the Diocese of Lansing! You can learn more about this and sign up for the daily scriptures here.
Join us for Oremus, an 8-week series on prayer with Fr. Mark Toups! This series offers great content that teaches on the heart of prayer and offers instruction on how to reinvigorate your own prayer life. If you participate, you will receive a workbook that provides notes from each video and offers daily scriptures for your own prayer time throughout the week.
This series will start the first week of February and go through the season of Lent, finishing just before Holy Week. There will be two options for meeting times:
Tuesday evenings, 7:30-8:30 (ONLINE) Starts February 2nd
Sunday evenings, 7:00-8:30 (IN PERSON) Starts February 7th
Please complete this form to register. You can send your cash or check payment of $16 into the office, or via the collection basket. Be sure to label the payment for Oremus. This money will be used for purchasing your workbook and online access to the materials.
Please reach out to Jess Jenkins at [email protected] with any questions. Hope you will join us!
Did you miss our parish meeting with the representatives from the Realign Resources for Mission committee? You can watch the video recently published by the diocese that includes the content of that meeting, which explains the origin and purpose of the committee, and which provides an opportunity to receive your feedback through the survey. You can find the video and the information about the survey on this webpage on the diocese website.
The dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation will continue through Sunday, November 22nd, 2020. If you are a registered parishioner at another parish, we would encourage you to attend that parish during this time.
Please be aware that these guidelines are subject to change as we receive information from the Diocese of Lansing. We are grateful for your patience and charity during this time.
