Rosary Rally
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 13th of each month, May through October, the dates of Our Lady’s Fatima Apparitions. Please join us on Friday, 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.
Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, lead us to Him!
St. Robert Parish will participate in the Lansing Diocesan Rosary Congress—a week-long Diocesan-wide effort to join, not only in our diocese, but with other dioceses across the nation, to ask Our Lady’s intercession before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and to offer reparation to God through Our Lady, for our families, our Church, and our country! Good Shepherd parishioners are invited to join us at St. Robert Church to adore Jesus during 23 hours of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, beginning after 8:30 am Mass on Friday, Oct.13; through Saturday, Oct. 14, at 8 am. Adorers are needed to sign up for one-hour periods with Jesus and pray the rosary and divine mercy chaplet in the church. Online signups are available by emailing: theshaws7@hotmail.com or calling/texting Renee at 810.964.7597. For more information on Rosary Congresses, visit www.rosarycongressusa.org.

It’s a Celebration!
Let’s all celebrate and have a good time! The life of a parish is exactly that, life. It is proper and good that we do celebrate life. Not only in our parish but also in our families, in our community, in our country, and in our world. For no matter where we are or where we go, without life there is no celebration. It is so precious a gift that to not celebrate it leads to desolation. Being open to life in the family leads to building better communities. Being open to life in the community, leads to building a “more perfect union” (country). Being open to life in our country leads to building a better world. It is only through life that we can build a better anything. And it is through the rejection of life that we become desolate. For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. So on our parish calendar we set aside a time to celebrate this life that we share. Knowing that without it we have nothing and that with it we have each other.
