Dear Friends,
The handout, “Chronology of the End Times,” is still available upon request.
This Wednesday, May 8, at St. Joseph Chapel (400 South Blvd. W., Pontiac, MI 48341) we will celebrate the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces. So many graces remain unobtained, Our Lady told St. Catherine Laboure in 1830, because they haven’t been asked for from our spiritual Mother.
Third Thursday, May 16, is our Evening for LIFE with a Holy Hour (7:00 pm) followed by Holy Mass. We pray for a Culture of Life and offer reparation for the crimes against life. Doors open at 6:30 pm with Eucharistic Exposition. Confession is available upon request.
Third Monday, May 20, is our Evening of Reparation with a Holy Hour (7:00 pm) followed by Holy Mass. We offer our prayers as reparation for the many sins of our country that cry out to Heaven. Doors open at 6:30 pm with Eucharistic Exposition. Confession is available upon request.
From May 22-30 or so we will have a complete renovation of the west (priest) sacristy where we prepare for Holy Mass. Work will only take place during the week. Only two days will be affected: Wednesday, May 22 and 29. We will still have Mass. Our west sacristy is over 50-years-old. We are renovating it now before we friars move into the rectory next door in August and will subsequently expand our Mass Schedule. The sacristy needs more storage space, better functioning cabinets and drawers, and a larger vestment closet. For this custom-made renovation, the cost is reasonable but still considerable. We are thankful for whatever you can do to help us.
If you’re interesting in a Home Enthronement to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, registration forms are available at our chapel entrance. On Saturday, June 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we will have a ceremony for registrants.
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. Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces, pray for us!
In Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
