This year, I will be leading a Catholic Pilgrimage to the Holy Land on October 12-22. The Orientation Meeting is this Saturday, July 11, 2:00-4:00 pm at St. Joseph Chapel (400 South Blvd. W., Pontiac, MI 48341) in the Lower Level. Enter through the front iron doors of the chapel. This meeting is mandatory. A flier is attached with pilgrimage information. (This is only being offered for those who didn’t attend the first Orientation Meeting on June 21.) The pilgrimage is filling up fast. To register, please bring a current passport—valid at least 3 months after our return—and a means of payment. “Come and see!” (John 1:46)
After Saturday, July 11, the Shrine will close for the rest of July for a summer break. That is, we will be CLOSED July 12-31. (Thus, there will be no Evening of Reparation in July.) While we are closed, Mass Intentions can still be given in the way most convenient for you. (I still say private Masses every day.) Please contact me to arrange this the Mass Intention you want during this time.
To communicate with me, please DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL. Call/text me at (313) 727-9784 or email me abunacalcio1982@gmail.com. Blessed Virgin Mary, the Immaculate Conception, Patroness of the United States of America, pray for us!
In Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
