Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As wildfires continue to devastate communities across California, we are called to respond with the compassion and generosity that defines our Catholic faith. Families have lost their homes, their livelihoods, and their sense of stability. In these moments of great need, Catholic Charities USA is providing lifesaving resources to those directly impacted by these tragic events. The Archdiocese of Detroit has made a contribution to aid in this effort, and now we humbly ask you to join us in supporting our brothers and sisters in need. 100% of your donation will go directly toward wildfire relief efforts. Your gift will help provide essential resources such as food, water, shelter, and long-term recovery assistance for those most affected by this disaster.

A Pastoral Note to Migrants from the Catholic Bishops in Michigan February 2025 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, We, the Roman Catholic Bishops in Michigan, write to offer our continued pastoral and prayerful support for migrant individuals and families who over the course of time have entered the country and today are making a living in this state. Our fraternal closeness to you and other immigrants, refugees, and those seeking humanitarian asylum is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, where we find “I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me… Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:35,40). We hear and empathize with families across the state who express anxiety and fear over mass deportations and harmful rhetoric that broadly demeans our immigrant brothers and sisters. As shepherds of our flocks, we pledge amid such uncertainty to promote through the Michigan Catholic Conference and in our respective dioceses unyielding support and respect for the human dignity of all migrant people in our midst. We urge our elected officials to support policies that keep immigrant and undocumented families safe and united, and to protect those who arrived as children. We call on the Michigan congressional delegation to work for a humane immigration system that welcomes refugees and immigrants by providing a fair pathway to citizenship; one that also keeps borders safe and secure from criminal activity, including human trafficking and the smuggling of illegal drugs. Mindful of the dire conditions from which many travel, oftentimes with children through great difficulty and despair, we encourage you, our migrant brothers and sisters, to be strengthened by our Lord’s words “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you… Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid” (John 14:27). Never fail to keep your faith and hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, who promises a divine kingdom that we strive to inherit and together call our true home. With abundant love and trust, we ask Our Lady of Guadalupe to hear the cries of the suffering and offer to her maternal compassion and protection all who seek her heavenly intercession. In Christ, Most Rev. Allen H. Vigneron Archbishop of Detroit Most Rev. Earl Boyea Bishop of Lansing Most Rev. Arturo Cepeda Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit Most Rev. John F. Doerfler Bishop of Marquette Most Rev. Robert Fisher Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit Most Rev. Robert D. Gruss Bishop of Saginaw Most Rev. Edward M. Lohse Bishop of Kalamazoo Most Rev. Jeffrey Monforton Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit Most Rev. David J. Walkowiak Bishop of Grand Rapids Most Rev. Jeffrey J. Walsh Bishop of Gaylord |

February Prayer Intention Suggested by Transfiguration
Each month the Holy Father suggests a prayer intention for the Church
This February, he suggests we pray especially for the terminally ill.
Pope's February prayer intention: For the terminally ill - Vatican News
Let us pray for the terminally ill,
that they may receive the medical and human care needed.
We pray also for their caregivers,
that God will give them the gifts they need
to accompany their loved ones,
We pray to the Lord
AT OUR FAMILY OF PARISHES
An Invitation from
Family Sent on Mission Men’s Discussion Group.
For the past year, a group of men have been meeting monthly on a Saturday morning to share our lives as Catholic men. We have now reached the point where we want to expand participation and help develop a clear mission of “Where do we go from here?”.
All men of our family of parishes are invited to attend the next monthly Men’s Discussion Group scheduled for Saturday, February 8, 2025. We hope to build a greater sense of community among our men and develop a mission for the group through discussion and prayer. These meetings would be a time set aside to share our spiritual journeys, views and experiences. There is no requirement to share. If you just want to listen, that is fine. Please contact Chuck White at 734.635.2598 or chuckwhiteolofsj@gmail.com if you wish to attend so we can plan accordingly.

FLOCKNOTE ACCESS
2025 is the Jubilee Holy Year, the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of our Lord, an "event of great spiritual, ecclesial, and social significance in the life of the Church."
The concept of "Jubilee" has its origins in the Book of Leviticus (chapter 25) as a special year of reconciliation, pilgrimage, and coming home.
Pope Francis has designated the 2025 Holy Year as a time to renew ourselves as "Pilgrims of Hope."
