St. Faustina Conference of St. Vincent de Paul is so grateful for the overwhelming support from our parishioners to help us provide meals for our families in need. With your help we have had an abundance of the types of food served on the Thanksgiving and Christmas tables that we all enjoy. We are now in need of the staples to help prevent hunger in the winter months ahead. Here are some suggestions: Cereals and instant oatmeal, Macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles, Canned tuna, chicken, salmon, Spam, Hearty soups and crackers, canned chili and beef stew, Pasta sauce and noodles, Peanut butter and jelly. Toilet paper and paper towels are always appreciated. Merry Christmas to all of our wonderful St. Faustina Family!

Please join us for a Christmas Concert featuring the Missio ad Gentes of Detroit, including Matthew Zinser our former Music Director, on the organ. More details to follow.

Frozen pierogi’s will be available in the vestibule next Sunday, December 7th after the 11 a.m. Mass

To enhance the safety and security of our St. Faustina parishioners and guests, will we now be locking the entry doors five minutes after Mass begins. Please strive to be on time.

Just a reminder! Gifts for the Giving Tree must be returned by Sunday, December 7, 2025. The reason we deliver these gifts so early is because the organizations that we support need enough time to unpack, organize and distrib ute them before Christmas. A reminder do not wrap or return your gift in any type of gift bag. Simply attach the sticky note. Gift cards should be placed in an envelope, attach the sticky note and put in the designated box. Thank you Christian Service Commission

In May we began the annual CSA Collection that will last for several months. Our generous parishioners are supporting all kinds of projects including helping poor people, St. Vincent de Paul, Knights of Columbus, Giving Tree, etc. It is time to consider the Church as poor and support the Church with our Archbishop Weisenburger and I hope with Pope Leo XIV, our new Pope, will grow strong and continue to evangelize, educate and provide people with the experience of God in their lives. Please look into your mail and consider a generous contribution to CSA. If you did not get a letter, contact the Parish Office and we will help you make your donation. Our goal this year is $41,782.00.
