Congratulations to the following young men and women of our parish who have or will be confirmed in the faith this year and become fully initiated members of the Catholic Church!
We ❤️ our volunteers!! Thank you, 9:00 am Usher Team, for all you do for our parish. Please join us in thanking them for their dedication to our parish!
Starting June 1, parishioners can donate household supplies for family ‘welcome bags’ as well as snacks and beverages for the kids. They have created a list of suggested donations for their Summer 2022 program on SignUp Genius. Please do not drop off items before June 1.
After serving on staff as St. Catherine’s Youth Minister and preparing students for Confirmation, it was mutually agreed that Philip Dezern will be leaving St. Catherine on May 31.
The Ascension of Jesus…His return to heaven, the second glorious mystery of the Rosary. After teaching, suffering, dying, and rising from the dead, Jesus spent time with His disciples.
As we celebrate the Ascension, we are reminded how the Lord will send His Spirit upon us and on the Church. This is important for all of us to remember for our faith. We hear the readings about the Apostles and how they watched Jesus ascend into Heaven.
You may have noticed in this past year we introduced a new mission statement to the parish: We are called to honor the Lord by serving each other in hope. Last April, I attended the Convocation for the Diocese of Kalamazoo. While there, I was inspired by a program discussed at the event, launched by Fr. John Riccardo (formally the Pastor of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Plymouth, MI), called Acts XXIX (29).

Did you know there are five forms of prayer? Each form has a unique purpose that fulfills the function of prayer, which is to “[raise] one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God” (CCC, 2559).
As out of control as things may seem, Jesus is in charge and the final, most important victory has already been won. Jesus told us that He’s preparing a place for us, and that one day He will return to bring us home.
A few dioceses have kept the traditional 40 days after Easter for the celebration of the Ascension. However, most of the diocese in the United States have transferred the Ascension to next Sunday, May 29. That is the case in our diocese and throughout Michigan. Please note, for these reasons, this coming Thursday is NOT a holy day of obligation, for the feast has been transferred.
