For our Heart & Soul II Event, we will need some volunteers to help with setup and cleanup, taking tickets at the door, and possibly help with clearing the tables during the event. If you can lend a hand, please call George Shevenock at (586) 773-6835.

This weekend is the special collection for our priests’ retirement, with thanks for Their Service in Christ. The collection will support the Priests’ Pension Plan which provides a monthly pension as well as health and automobile insurance to priests at age 70. As you may know, the retirement years can be difficult for our retired priests. No longer supported by their parish communities, they rely on minimal social Security benefits and their pension from the Priests’ Pension Plan for basic needs, such as food, housing and transportation. Please show your gratitude to those priests who have cared for and ministered to our community by prayerfully reflecting on how you can best help support our priests’ retirement with a gift to the With Thanks for Their Service in Christ special collection. You may return your completed special collection envelope at Mass or mail it to the parish office.

The Catholic Services Appeal for 2022, Fuel the Mission, is still in progress. To learn more about the CSA or to give now, visit the AOD website: http://stfaustina.aodcsa.org
