On Wednesday evenings beginning January 10 we will be starting "Symbolon" for those wanting to learn more about Church teaching and "Unbound" for those seeking inner healing and freedom. Both of the Wednesday programs include dinner. See the flyer below for more information.
Seventh and Eighth Grade Families
Vocations Mass for all R. E. Families
A special Vocations mass will be held on Monday January 22nd at 6:40 p.m. and Tuesday, January 23rd at 4:25 pm. We invite parents to join us for this beautiful mass which will include a special speaker. Please drop your children to their classrooms at the usual time and they will head over to church with their classes. Parents can go directly to the church after drop off. Beginning with this mass, families will be invited to take home our "Vocations Chalice" for a two week period. Information to sign up will be available at the mass or you can call the RE office at 885-7022 to put your name on the list.
Adoration
Please consider bringing your whole family but especially your junior high children to "Encounter" - an hour of Eucharistic Adoration with beautiful praise and worship music and a great speaker. The opportunity for individual confessions or individual prayer is also available. "Encounter" is held once a month after the 6:00pm mass. If you cannot stay the whole time, no problem. Come for as long as you are comfortable. The next one is scheduled for Sunday, January 21st from 7:15 - 8:15 pm.
Snow Closing Policy
If it is necessary to cancel classes, we will send out an e-mail or your child's catechist will make every effort to reach you by phone. Feel free to call our office if you are in doubt. We do not necessarily follow the Grosse Pointe Schools' decisions regarding closing because our classes start so much later in the day. Very often the snow has cleared by the time our classes are scheduled to begin.
