Dear Parishioners, Thank you for the many prayers and the Spiritual Bouquets that were offered for Fr. Bill before he had outpatient surgery just over a week ago. These prayers not only helped him through the surgery but are also helping him to heal up post-surgery. We hope to see him around a little more soon! Many thanks to all our volunteers who helped us launch our Faith Formation programs last weekend. It takes a lot of volunteers to run these programs, especially since our number of students are up this year. It’s also good to have Coffee and Donuts back for the Fall. Your St. Catherine Clergy ask for your continued prayers for us during this Year of Spiritual Renewal. We have a number of special workshops and days of prayer scheduled during this time to help us in our priestly ministry. Please also continue your prayers as we approach the elections, which are now just a month away. In a special way, please remember to keep the ballot issue for Proposal 3 in your prayers, for the protection of all life, especially the unborn, in the State of Michigan. Thanks for reading! Fr. Mark
