It's that time of the year again! Halloween is just around the comer, and Sacred Heart Major Seminary needs your help. Each year the seminary community opens their doors and their hearts to over 2000 children from the surrounding Detroit neighborhood so that the kids can have a fun and safe place to play games and trick-or-treat. But they need your help to make this year a success! They are asking for donations of Halloween candy that will then be passed out to the many kids. If you are willing to participate in this important ministry by donating bags of candy please bring them to boxes in the vestibule of the church or the parish office.

October 5th will be the Feast Day Of St. Faustina, who died on October 5, 1938. She is known as Apostle of Divine Mercy, and for our city the patroness of our St. Faustina Parish. On this occasion, the First-Class Relic of St. Faustina will be exposed on Sunday October 4th, and for the following week, for veneration. At the end of each Mass, we will be blessed with the Relic of St. Faustina.
