A reflection on the sanctity of human life.

May 24, 2022 (Kalamazoo, Mich.): Bishop Paul J. Bradley released the following statement in the wake of the tragic school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas

Considering the recent devastating destruction and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine Bishop Paul J. Bradley has requested a special collection for USCCB's Churches in Central and Eastern Europe fund the weekend of March 19/20. Checks should be made out to the parish with "Church in Central and Eastern Europe" written in the reference line. Funds collected will be distributed through the United States Bishops' Church in Central and Eastern Europe to fund the official relief agencies of the Catholic Church, such as Caritas Ukraine. Thank you for helping those most in need of God's healing love and support.

Our collaborative is offering many opportunities this Lent!

Please join Bishop Bradley in these opportunities to pray for the protection of all life.

Bishop Bradley announces a special Jubilee Year of the Holy Spirit to begin August 28, 2021 and culminate on the Solemnity of Pentecost, June 5, 2022.

Mrs. DeKoning is looking for help collecting supplies for the religious education classes she teaches at St. Mary School. Can you help?

"Please hold me in your prayers. I will cherish you all and hold you all in my prayers. God be with you until we meet again at Jesus’ feet."

You heard it at Mass this past weekend. Father Joseph is a US citizen. Now, he says, everyone should be able to understand his homilies perfectly. Kidding aside, it takes a great effort and study to become a citizen and Father has worked very hard! Next time you see Father Joseph, give him your congratulations! Or, drop him a note to welcome him. He loves to receive your letters.
