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, Cathy Szczerba at 810-656-7752.

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

God, is that you? Why is praying easy sometimes and hard at other times? Study the 14 rules of discernment through a highly visual hands on way.

St. Ignatius has been a trusted guide for the spiritual life for over five centuries and tackles these and other types of spiritual questions that we wrestle with and ponder.

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!

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.

We are so excited to once again offer Advent by Candlelight, an evening for women with prayer, song, food, and fun. This special time is a wonderful way to prepare our hearts and homes to celebrate the coming of Jesus.

This is for women who are at least 21 years old.

All women of the parish attending the event are also invited to hostess a table. Hostesses set their tables in the Fr. Bush Parish Center, provide finger foods for their guests, and visit for more than an hour after the service in the church.

To reserve and hostess a table of eight, please register here. Anyone who would like to come but cannot hostess a table may call the parish office, and we will find a table placement for you.
