Dear Friends,
Due to the weather forecast for tomorrow (Saturday, January 13), WE WILL CLOSE St. Joseph Chapel (400 South Blvd. West, Pontiac, MI 48341).
We will next be open on Monday, January 15, is our Evening of Reparation (7:00 pm Rosary, Fatima Reparation Prayers, Chaplet of Divine Mercy and then Mass). We open at 6:30 pm with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Reparation assuages Divine Justice and calls down much-needed Divine Mercy. Let’s beg for mercy for Michigan, America and our world.
Epiphany Water is available at St. Joseph Chapel. It is the most powerful Holy Water the Church offers, and highly recommended for protection against the demonic. Our 4 ounce bottles are available for a $5.00 donation.
Do you have a desire to follow Jesus Christ, the poor and crucified Savior, in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi? Perhaps you are called to discern a vocation to the Secular Franciscan Order? All are welcome to our “Come and See” Meeting on Thursday, January 25 at St. Joseph Chapel at 7:00 pm to learn about this vocation. Future meetings will be February 26, March 25, April 25, May 23 and June 24. An authentically-lived Franciscan vocation is one of the most beautiful vocations there is. Our world needs this witness to be reminded of the hope and joy of Jesus’ Kingdom. We will ask the Immaculata to guide all our activity.
To communicate with me, please DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL but email me directly at [email protected] or call/text me at (313) 727-9784. Our Lady of the Cape, pray for us!
In Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
Fr. Alex Kratz, OFM
