St. Mary Parish News (more on News/Events page)

Discussion at the parish “town hall” meeting on April 24 focused primarily on what we wished to communicate to our Bishop, and through him to Pope Francis for the Synod in 2023, about issues of concern and importance in the greater Church. However, some local matters also came up. One was utilizing the bulletin to communicate more information about Diocesan and nearby parish activities. Sometimes we have more parish news than will fit, and with 1½ pages of our 3 allowable pages being used to print the text of the homily, there is often no room for anything else. (Of course, sometimes there is plenty of room!) So the consensus was to make the homily text available in the vestibule as a handout for those who wish to pick it up when leaving, thus encouraging folks to listen to the homily and use the bulletin for news. Let’s see how it works!Read More

…to meeting our parish DSA goal! With just 60 of our parish families contributing, we are at 99% of the goal the Diocese set for our parish to support the good work of the Diocesan Services Appeal (DSA). We need just $336 to be at 100%. And if we go above our goal, then half of that above goal amount is returned to the parish (the rest going to DSA to help when some parishes, not as strong as ours, cannot meet their goal). Please consider giving generously to DSA. If you have misplaced your DSA pledge envelope, there are extras in the main vestibule. Let us meet the modest goal set for us. Thank you to all who have already given and to those who are planning to give.Read More

…and when our family of faith comes together to worship, we become one Body in Christ. Please join us on Sun., May 22 at 11:30am at St. Andrew, Saline, for Mass – with some additions to highlight the special gifts that God gives to us in those living with “disabilities.” The Mass will be appropriate for those with sensory difficulties: an ASL interpreter will be present, worship aids will be available for those needing large print and braille, there will be quiet spaces for individuals needing a break, and extra ushers to assist with mobility and other needs. Immediately following the Mass, please join us in the St. Andrew’s parish hall for fellowship and food. Delicious appetizers and snacks will be provided by the Knights of Columbus, Saline Council 6674 and the disAbilities team. Questions: Contact Karen Berg at karenberg@mahsmi.orgRead More

DefinitelyWorth Watching!
Here are two excellent videos, each just a few minutes long and each definitely worth your time to watch! Whether you are Catholic, protestant, or muslim - you will be grateful to have heard the ideas so well expressed in each of these videos:
First, a question for your protestant family members and friends:
► "Who Founded Your Church?"
And a fascinating insight into how the Koran led a muslim to become a disciple of Jesus:
► "From Islam to Christianity"
Be sure to share these!
