ARE YOU BEING CALLED TO SERVE RESIDENTS AT MEDILODGE?  Several of our parish members have been taking communion to the residents and leading in prayer the rosary for quite a few years now, but were not able to due to the Covid pandemic.  As we want to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ, we are reaching out to see if God is calling you to help.  We need assistance and sometimes substitutes to lead the rosary and to give communion to the residents.  If you feel called, contact the parish office for more information.  Thank You!

Rosary Rally at Michigan’s State Capitol on Thursday, October 13 at 3:00 pm

We invite you to join us for our 4th annual monthly Rosary Rally Campaign at our Lansing State Capitol.  This has been organized by a  group of Catholics committed to praying publicly for our state and nation on the 13^th of each month, May through October, the dates of Our Lady’s Fatima Apparitions.  Please join us on Thursday, October 13, at 3:00 pm in front of the steps at the Michigan State Capitol building in Lansing where we will be led in prayer for our state and nation.  It will last about an hour.

A public square rosary rally is a time to give witness to people of all races and beliefs, keep polarizing politics out, and focus on prayer to unite our nation.  If you are interested in helping with this campaign or have any questions, please reach out to Sandra Sherwood at ejsherwood@charter.net.
