It’s that time of the year again! Halloween is just around the corner, 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 the vestibule in the Church or the parish ofice by October 26th. Thank you!

St. Faustina Conference, SVdP is so grateful for the generous donations of food for our pantry. Now that school has started, we look toward to Fall and feeding hungry families as the weather changes. Some suggestions: Canned tuna and chicken; bags of rice and rice sides (Knorr); Hearty canned soup; canned baked beans or any variety of beans; pasta sauce and noodles; macaroni and cheese; boxed or instant potatoes. We appreciate any and all donations! Gratefully, St Faustina Conference

Calling all that want to grow in Christ! We at St. Faustina are a dedicated community that want to strengthen the Spiritual knowledge of our Catholic Faith. We know that family life is busy, so trust in us to strengthen and enrich your child’s Spiritual Growth. Jesus teaches us to spread the word, faith, and love that His Father taught us. You can enroll now for the Fall or wait until September. I like to meet when registering so I can get to know our families. Knowing you have a very busy life we can schedule a time that is good for you to come in and register, therefore you can call for an appointment at 586-773-9220 ext. 111 or email [email protected]. We look forward to meeting you and growing in Faith with and through our children. May God Bless you and your family. Lynn McKnight Director of Religious Education, St. Faustina

Seniors are invited to attend the monthly Senior Club meeting in the Family Center. The meeting takes place on the 4th Wednesday of every month in the afternoon. We offer lunch at every meeting along with a variety of activities, such as games, socializing, 50/50 raffle, guest speakers, exercises, etc. There are monthly membership dues of $5.00. Money is used for the purpose of the Club only. Come and join us for a few hours and bring a friend and meet new ones.

Do you have questions about Catholicism or what it means to be Catholic? Are you interested in expanding your faith with a deeper understanding of the Church beyond that which you may have learned in Catechism as a child, or someone on the fence about converting to the Catholic faith? Or are you someone who wants to share your own understanding of the faith and help other Catholics to comprehend the often-difficult teachings of the Bible, or simply someone looking for an outlet to talk about religion with like-minded people? The St. Faustina OCIA Team would like to welcome all parishioners and their guests to our first open discussion group about the Catholic Faith. There are no topics or questions off limits or commitments required; our goal is simply to bring people of all walks of life and all levels of faith closer to God through a more thorough shared understanding of Catholicism. If you are interested, or even just curious, please join us for coffee & open discussion at 9:45 on Sundays beginning this Sunday, 5/25 in the Family Center!

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.
