“Fr. Bosco and I have decided that a full CHOIR is not possible due to the inability to implement social distancing guidelines in our small choir loft; however, in place of a full choir, we are planning small clusters of 2 or 3 cantors to sing at each of the three Christmas Masses (5:00pm Christmas Eve, Midnight Mass, and 10:00am Christmas Day); having only 2 or 3 additional singers to myself in the choir loft will still allow for 6-foot social distancing. I would like to schedule 2-3 singers at each Mass soon, so if you are interested in this opportunity to sing to the Lord this Christmas at St. Mary’s, please email me at stmarymanchesterchoir@gmail.com or text me at 734-428-0007. Once I hear back from all who are interested, I will arrange separate rehearsals for each cluster. Thank you.” —Benjamin Dahl, St. Mary Music DirectorRead More

Our parish Amazing Greys will host their 7th Annual Advent Candlelight Prayer Service on Sun, Nov. 29 at 4:00pm in the church. In previous years this has been part of a lovely candlelight dinner in Fr. Fisher Hall, but because of covid, there will not be a dinner this year. However, the prayer service is very beautiful and spiritually nourishing! It is a wonderful way to begin the season of Advent. All are welcome.Read More

N.B. *BREAKING NEWS…Once again someone is sending emails, making them appear to be from Fr. Bosco, and asking you to reply to the email. Most likely if you replied, it would ask you to buy gift cards and send the serial numbers to Fr. Bosco. Sadly, they prey on the generosity of parishioners. Please be assured that Fr. Bosco will never ask you to do anything like this. If you wonder if things are legitimate, please email or call Fr. Bosco. And please mark the email as spam and delete the message from your mailbox. He/she is trying to get your contacts to propagate this scam. Let us pray for all who try to hurt us or count themselves our enemies.

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!
