Join Deacon Len for Stations of the Cross
Fridays during Lent: Mar. 24, and 31, Deacon Len will lead us through Stations of the Cross. Join us in Church at 4:00 PM.
          Why pray the stations of the cross? Pope Frances gives us 8 reasons:
1. They allow us to place our trust in Him. 2. They put us into the story. 3. They remind us that Jesus suffers with us. 4. They compel us to action. 5. They help us make a decision for or against Christ. 6. They reveal God’s response to evil in the world. 7. They give us the certainty of God’s love. 8. They guide us from the cross to the resurrection. For a little more information visit:

To learn more about the Jewish heritage
of our Catholic Mass, come celebrate the Passover meal in the Family Center on Holy Thursday, April 6 at 6:00 p.m. Registration is in the main vestibule of the church and ends on Wednesday, March 29, 2023.

“No Greater Love” is a biblical pilgrimage that reveals Christ’s amazing love for us. Dr. Edward Sri guides you through the last hours of Christ’s life. You will visually walk the historical sites step-by-step with Jesus from the garden of Gethsemane to Mount Calvary. Every step of the way, Old Testament prophecies, messianic expectations, biblical symbolism, and historical context shed light on the mystery of Christ’s suffering and death.
                The study begins on Tuesday, February 21st at 6:00 pm in the Family Center and runs through March 28th. Bruce Budzynski will be your facilitator. Please sign up in the main vestibule or call Kathy at (231) 843-9266, by February 6th so we may order the materials needed for the study. Cost of the book and workbook is $20.00.
