Greetings in Christ! This handout is to walk us through an update on our massive Church Renovation Project. We’ll start with a review. In 2017, the Diocese of Lansing convened the Witness to Hope campaign in order to raise some much needed funds for the great work of their ministry. Holy Family and about 11 […]
Greetings in Christ! We’re finishing up quite the run in the Church calendar: Easter is complete, we’ve prayed the Pentecost Feast and celebrated the Trinity and now we are at one of my All-Time Favorites – Corpus Christi: the celebration of the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. As Catholics, we are a […]
Greetings in Christ all! We’ve got quite the lineup for our liturgies; it always goes this way right after Easter. Last week was Pentecost, where we celebrate the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, this week is Trinity which is the Central Mystery of our Faith and the week after is Corpus Christi: the Feast of […]

Greetings in Christ! Well, we have had the town hall meetings and revealed the new plans for our church and I am so very blessed by the excitement that seems to be accompanying these plans. I was asked a lot of questions about why I changed the plans and what my priorities were in changing […]
Greetings in Christ! I’m excited to send you all this update on our parish financial status and building project. Since I arrived here last year, I’ve been learning all I can about this vast and amazing enterprise that is our parish community.
