Our Ministries are the Works of Mercy!

Hello!

Imagine in one day volunteers throughout metro-Detroit helping out their local communities. On October 20 throughout southeast Michigan, volunteers will mobilize for the third annual “Mercy in Action” Day, organized by Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan (CCSEM). In cooperation with Catholic churches throughout the Detroit Archdiocese, volunteers will roll up their sleeves to clean up charitable sites, offer support for veterans, collect food for food pantries, hold St. Vincent DePaul clothing drives, visit nursing homes, and much more. Want to get involved? Details about service projects are available by contacting regional coordinators in your area. Send questions to Joyce Hyttinen at CCSEM at hyttinenj@ccsem.org.

Saint Joseph Center of Hope Renovation Begins!

Renovations have begun on the building soon to become the new Saint Joseph Center of Hope in Monroe.

We are so grateful to our partners for helping bring this project to fruition: the Community Foundation of Monroe County, Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeast Michigan, St. John’s the Baptist Church in Monroe, and ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital. Stay tuned for details on the opening date!
