Without this assistance, hundreds of renters in Washtenaw County that faced pandemic-related hardships will be at risk of eviction in the coming months. • Volunteers needed! Support for eligible individuals and families in navigating CERA will be fundamental to the program’s success in the coming months. We need your help! Volunteers are needed to guide members of the community through completing their application. After ample training, volunteers will answer questions and assist applicants in gathering the documents and information they need to prove their eligibility. You will need reliable internet access and should be comfortable using and uploading documents to an online application portal.

As a result of your input, the days and times of the six September/October sessions on the Eucharist will be: ◆ The Monday sessions will be held after the Monday noon Mass, at about 12:45pm, and begin Sept. 13. ◆ The evening sessions will be Thursdays, beginning Sept. 16 at 6:15pm. Both Monday and Thursday sessions in the same week will run the same video and offer the same handouts and supplemental video internet links. And both the Monday and Thursday sessions will offer something to eat. These sessions are critically important for all Catholics. The Eucharist is the Source & Summit of our Faith. Jesus told us that “unless you eat My Body and drink My Blood, you have no life within you.” These words FORCE us to make a decision. Join fellow parishioners to discover evidence for The Real Presence.Read More

Well, it’s finally here, my first newsletter for our bulletin, followed by my first meeting as your Grand Knight representing St. Mary of Manchester Knights of Columbus Council 4354. I’m a little nervous with the responsibility the next two years will bring. I ask for your prayers for myself and for our council during the year. I also would like to thank Fr. Bosco for his continued support of the Knights and look forward to helping him in his ministry at St. Mary Parish. I would like to encourage all the men that I have personally talked to over the last year, to prayerfully consider joining the K of C. All of you already support our many Parish activities with your time and hard work. The K of C will be celebrating their 65th anniversary next year, and with your commitment to join, we will ensure that the Manchester K of C will have another 65 years of serving our Parish and community. Our ceremony (1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree) for joining the K of C can take place at St. Mary Church after the 10:30 Mass on Sunday. Your family members are encouraged to attend and witness this beautiful ceremony. If you have any questions, please email me (abrog66@gmail.com) or talk to me after Mass on Sunday or give me a call (734-972-9204). —Martin Brogley, Grand Knight Manchester K of C Council 4354Read 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!
