Greetings in Christ, all! Wow…crazy days, no? This is turning out to be a very odd Lent. All of us have had a Eucharistic fast inflicted on us and it’s tough, but I am so proud of how we have responded. Our livetreamed Liturgies and my Quarantine Catechesis are getting literally tens of thousands of […]
We received a directive from our Bishop that as of Wednesday, March 18, there will be no public Masses within the Diocese of Lansing. At this point, the current situation will last until Wednesday of Holy Week. Please read this announcement in its entirety and share this information with everyone within our parish boundaries. Mass: […]
Hello, my beautiful Holy Family! Lent is moving right along now and I am loving it. Throughout the Lenten Season, I will continue my homily series on The Story of Salvation. To review: Week One: We were created by love, for love and to love. Sin obscures that truth by compelling us to turn our […]

It is our intention to obey these restrictions as good citizens and to do our […]
Greetings in Christ, all! Lots of good news to share, starting with our home demolitions.

Greetings in Christ! I’m typing this up on February 12th and, as of typing this, I’m definitely doing better. This virus really knocked me down like nothing I’ve had before. I’m still weak and my doctor expects that I will be for a couple weeks. A lot of you asked about my Dad and I […]
Greetings in Christ, everyone! I am back in Michigan and I have missed you all so very much. I can’t believe how deeply my two parish families have taken root in my heart in such a short time. I am grateful to God for you all. The cruise could not have gone better. Over 500 […]
Greetings in Christ! I’m writing this one a couple weeks ahead, as I just walked out of a finance council meeting and have some info to share. Beyond that, I will be away when this will be due: I’ll be on the Good News Cruise Couples Retreat! So, I just wanted to take a moment […]

Throughout the week on the cruise, I will be giving talks, introducing events and speakers, praying Mass, hearing confessions and getting some rest and relaxation in between it all. They’ve told me they want me to do […]
