Don’t forget, you can recycle your newspapers, catalogs, magazines, junk mail, phone books, office/school papers, and hard and soft cover books by dropping them off in the GREEN PAPER GATOR bin in the west parking lot.

Starting May 7, the St.Vincent dePaul (SVDP) Thrift Store will be open on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Our P3—Prayer/Penance/Pub group usually meets on the third Friday of the month. However, in April,  P3 will meet on Friday, April 22 at 7:00 pm instead. We hope to see you there!  

Due to Easter Sunday, our Donuts to Go will be next Sunday, April 24 after the morning masses as usual.

Last week’s reflection encouraged us to stay longer at the foot of the cross of the crucified Jesus despite our natural reluctance to witness the pain. Holy Week is marked by the ugliness, suffering and sadness of the Passion and Death of our Lord.

Happy Easter from the clergy and staff at St. Catherine's.

This weekend, it is a day of rejoicing. This day of rejoicing should set the tone for our life of faith and how we should be joyful in carrying out the works of the Gospel. The tomb was empty for a reason: It could never contain all that love that God intended for each and every one of us.

Welcome to our new members for March 2022!

Here at St. Catherine’s we have clergy who will come out to your home and bless it. Email frontdesk@stcatherinesiena.org or call 327-5165.

On March 19/20, Bishop Paul J. Bradley requested a second collection for USCCB’s Churches in Central and Eastern Europe fund. St. Catherine parishioners responded to the call with an astounding total of $22,250!

We had ten machines donated and many delighted families happy to receive the machines. We do not need it anymore. Thank you for your quick response to this request for help in our community!

Our P3—Prayer/Penance/Pub group usually meets on the third Friday of the month. However, in April, the third Friday happens to be Good Friday. Therefore, we are pushing the date out a week and meeting on Friday, April 22.

This weekend the St. Catherine of Siena Knights of Columbus (Council 6980) is conducting their fundraiser for Michigan Citizens with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (aka Tootsie Roll Drive).

A little over five weeks ago we started Lent with promises to ourselves that this Lent would be our best ever. In reality, has it actually passed by unremarked except for some extra fish sandwiches?

I invite you to join in our celebrations of love as we walk with Jesus throughout this Holy Week. The schedule of Masses and Holy Week services are below. Please note that there are also several schedule changes this week (no morning Mass on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) and that the Easter Vigil takes the place of the Saturday afternoon Mass.

We love our volunteers!! We want to recognize all the people who help our church day in and day out. There are many hands required for a successful parish like ours to flourish! If you know of someone you think we should feature in our Parishioner Spotlight, let us know! Contact Marianne at mverner@stcatherinesiena.org.

On April 9 and 10, the St. Catherine of Siena Knights of Columbus (Council 6980) will again be conducting their fundraiser for Michigan Citizens with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (aka Tootsie Roll Drive).

Today’s Gospel is the familiar story of the woman caught in adultery. The Pharisees planned a trap for Jesus, thinking that either way He answers will allow them to bring a charge against him.

This year, we have five adults receiving the Sacraments at the Vigil (but no one is being baptized). Of course, with it being the 5th Sunday of Lent this weekend, that also means that we celebrate Palm Sunday next weekend and the beginning of Holy Week.
