The Solemnity of the Assumption will be celebrated at St. Joseph Chapel (400 South Blvd. West, Pontiac, MI 48341) on Sunday, August 15. The schedule is as follows:
- (11:00 am) Doors open & Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament
- (11:30 am) Rosary prayed
- (12:00 pm) Mass
- (1:15 pm) Healing prayer will be offered after Mass
Our new Blessed Mother votive candle bank near the Our Lady of Cape statue (which will also serve to honor St. John the Baptist nearby) will be in place just in time for this great Marian feast. Come honor Our Lady at her holy little shrine and light a candle for your prayer intentions.
Mass Intentions are always appreciated. They can be communicated to Fr. Alex by email (abunaalex@yahoo.com) or by snail mail. (Mass intention donations need to be mailed in or personally brought to the shrine unless PayPal is used.) Mass Intentions are a big help in supporting the shrine and Terra Sancta Ministries.
There will be no pilgrimage to the Holy Land this year. Our next pilgrimage is April 25-May 9, 2022.
To communicate with Fr. Alex, email me at abunaalex@yahoo.com or call/text me at (313) 727-9784.
St. Joseph, greatest of saints, pray for us as we prepare to honor your most holy bride, the Blessed Virgin Mary!
In Jesus, Mary & Joseph,
Fr. Alex Kratz, OFM
Spiritual Director of Terra Sancta Ministries
