Don't run away! Confessions aren't that bad. Join the priests every Saturday from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm in the church parking lot for Drive-thru confessions. Jumping the rectory fence is NOT necessary or required =) (Photo courtesy of Father Mark and an early morning visitor to the rectory)

Did You Know? Anointing of the sick is for those who are sick or facing life-threatening situations (major surgery/serious medical emergency), as well as those who may be facing imminent death. While many fear calling a priest for this sacrament may mean giving up on a dying loved one, waiting too long may risk leaving a dying person without the important graces of this sacrament. For more information about this sacrament, please visit https://www.ocp.org/en-us/blog/entry/music/last-rites-anointing-of-the-sick or https://catholicproductions.com/blogs/blog/anointing-of-the-sick. If you are interested in an Anointing of the Sick for yourself or a loved one, please contact our Front Office at (269) 327-5165 or [email protected]. Remember: With COVID restrictions, every hospital may have different rules for visitors. Please check with the hospital before calling the priest and/or let them know a priest will be coming to visit.

Do you know the difference between a Catechumen and Candidate? Both are persons participating in the Right of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA). A Catechumen specifies a non-baptized person preparing for full membership in the Catholic Church through Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion. Candidates are previously-baptized persons seeking full communion with the Catholic Church through Confirmation and Holy Communion. This Saturday, April 3rd, we will baptize one Catechumen and then, along with nine Candidates, confirm and welcome them into the Catholic Church and our parish through Holy Communion at the Great Easter Vigil at 9 pm in the Church. This is a beautiful liturgy full of ritual and meaning. If you've never been to an Easter Vigil before, please consider joining us in person or online (on our website, Facebook page, or our YouTube channel) for the 2021 Easter Vigil as we prepare to welcome 10 new members of the Catholic Church.

Marriage is a place of refuge in a world filled with all kinds of emptiness. The Church looks to marriage as the fundamental unit of our Church, calling the family the domestic church. We regard marriage as a sacrament. We would like to recognize our Parishioners who are about to celebrate an upcoming Milestone Anniversary (10, 25, 50, or 75 years). In a time where many couples struggle to make it through marriage, we want to celebrate those with success stories! We have a list in our Parish data system, but we don’t want to miss anyone. Let our Front Office know at [email protected] or 327-5165 if you have a Milestone Anniversary you would like featured in an upcoming bulletin and on our website/Facebook. Thank you!
