Dear Friends,
This Saturday, October 14, at St. Joseph Chapel & the Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (400 South Blvd. West, Pontiac, MI 48341) we will hold a Rosary Rally at Noon in front of the rectory (the house). Mass will follow the Rally. Dress up for the cold, including wearing gloves. We are praying for the conversion of America, but we will also pray for peace in the Holy Land—the land of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Please pray the Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy for peace in the Holy Land. Miracles of peace can happen, but they usually require many people praying together. Please pray for all the peoples there, and especially for protection of noncombatants on all sides. Let’s especially lift up the “living stones,” our fellow Palestinian Christians, who want just treatment from Israel but also decry terrorist tactics.
Please pray for good weather on Sunday, October 15, when we will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of St. Joseph Chapel with a Noon Mass OUTDOORS with Archbishop Vigneron. It will be followed by an outdoor FREE Lunch at 1:30 pm. Please RSVP Dawn at (586) 419-5291 or [email protected].
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 Rosary, pray for us!
In Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
Fr. Alex Kratz, OFM
