Dear Friends,

First Wednesday is tomorrow and First Friday is this week (February 7).  The Angel of Peace who appeared a second time to the children of Fatima the year before Our Lady did (1916) said, “Pray! Pray a great deal!  The most holy hearts of Jesus and of Mary have merciful designs for you.  Offer prayers and sacrifices constantly to the Most High.” (2nd apparition)  We honor St. Joseph on First Wednesday and he, who was closer to Mary & Jesus than any other human being in history, can help us be close to and conformed to the Holy Hearts of Our Lady and Our Savior. 

Exorcised salt (which is also blessed) and Epiphany Water (the most powerful holy water) are now both available.

Free archdiocesan booklets of the Jubilee Year of Hope are still available to help you make this special year spiritually fruitful. 

To communicate with me, please 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
