Dear Friends,
The Solemnity and Holy Day of Obligation, Mary, Mother of God, falls this Sunday, January 1. St. Joseph Chapel will be OPEN THIS SUNDAY for this most foundational Marian feast. Two Masses are available: a 5:00 pm Vigil Mass on Saturday, Dec. 31 (with doors open, Exposition & Rosary at 4:30 pm) and a Noon Mass on Sunday itself (doors open at 10:30 am, Confessions at 11:00 am). The 15 decades of the traditional Mysteries of the Rosary will follow after Mass.
Next year two Catholic pilgrimages to the Holy Land with Terra Sancta Pilgrimages will be available: April 18-May 2 and November 28-December 12. Fr. Alex will lead each. If you are interested in the April trip, please contact Patti Giangrande (248-514-1747 or [email protected]) or Fr. Alex: (313-727-9784 or [email protected]) as soon as possible.
Fr. John Hardon’s Basic Catechism Course (from the Marian Catechist Apostolate) will begin in January. Please contact certified Marian Catechist, Paul Ameye (586-604-7542 or [email protected]), as soon as possible to begin this challenging home study course about our beautiful Catholic Faith.
