The Shrine will close AFTER tomorrow for a summer break: i.e., from July 12-31. So “Keep Cool with Christ” as our outdoor signs says!
I can still accept Mass Intentions while we are closed. (I offer Mass every day—often a private one.) Mass Intentions can be given or communicated to me in the way most convenient for you. Texting is the easiest for me. (If you email me, it really helps that you text me that you have sent me an email.) Please contact me to arrange the Mass Intention(s) you want during this time.
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)
To communicate with me, please call/text me at (313) 727-9784 or email me abunacalcio1982@gmail.com. Our Lady of the Cape, pray for us!
In Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
