Happy New Year!
We hope your family enjoyed a joyful Christmas and we wish you a blessed New Year. As we begin 2022, we are grateful for our many blessings which include you and your family. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate through each week with trust and confidence in Jesus Christ.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:7
May God fill your family with love, joy and peace during this New Year!

Christian Service and Works of Mercy Opportunities
God has uniquely equipped every person in the Church with specific skills and gifts. As Catholics, we are tasked with utilizing these gifts in our church and community. Jesus is the greatest model of selfless service, because His life was about serving others. Please see a list of current opportunities below. New opportunities will be published in the January 16 St. Paul Reporter.

Snow Closing Policy
If it is necessary to cancel classes, we will send out an e-mail. 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.
