Walking with Purpose is a Catholic Bible study for women that aims to bring women to a deeper personal relationship with Christ. Through personal study and small group discussions, the group helps to link our everyday challenges with solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church.

Gospel Reflection is a Bible study focusing on the upcoming Sunday’s Gospel reading. All are welcome to join Thursday morning to read the upcoming Sunday Gospel together in a casual environment.

No need to sign up or commit. The Gospel is new each week, so you can drop in any time. Come when you can, come as you are, and do not worry when you cannot. There is no preparation necessary. Just bring yourself and grab a tea or coffee and listen to and reflect upon this Sunday’s Gospel.

For more information contact, Pam Salem at 810-877-1477.

The “reflection” portion of our meetings is guided by, The Better Part, A Christ-Centered Resource for Personal Prayer, by Fr. John Bartunek.

This is a wonderful ministry to support new moms and families by providing meals in the first few weeks after bringing your baby home. Our team sets up a schedule for meals, usually 3 weeks of Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our volunteers sign up for a day that suits their schedule and will bring your meal in a disposable container (no need to wash and return dishes).

To participate, expectant families can contact either Elizabeth or Vicky during pregnancy so we can set up the meal schedule. Anyone wanting to help provide meals for our new moms can also contact us to volunteer. We look forward to hearing from you!

Sisters, do you need an excuse to sit and read good books? Well-Read Mom is a Catholic book club that draws women (not just moms) together to read and discuss great books and spiritual classics. Last year we read Steinbeck, Dorothy Day, and Anne Bronte, among others. This year we’re reading Brother Lawrence and T.S. Eliot, along with other classics. Membership in Well-Read Mom also offers access to great reading suggestions for all ages of children. Monthly meetings will be held at Holy Family starting on Thursday, September 7, at 7:00 p.m. in the Fr. Bush Parish Center (large hall). If you are interested, please contact Elizabeth Petrides 810-265-4189, or visit wellreadmom.com to register or for more information.

Holy Family Needle Crafters meet one Monday each month to make several different kinds of needlework projects. Some of these include burp cloths, loveys, tote bags, baby blankets, prayer shawls, homemade valentines, hats, scarves, and mittens. These are given to local charities, such as the Luke 52 Project, Knights of Columbus coat drive, a local nursing home, and Catholic Charities.

There are currently two Divine Mercy Cenacles meeting about twice a month. These groups study the diary of St. Faustina, along with
related Scripture passages and readings from the Catechism.

Please call Terrie Alfaro at 810-820-1992 for details.
