After carefully considering these and other factors, I am extending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation for people living in or visiting the Archdiocese of Detroit until Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021. As we have from the beginning, we will continue to closely monitor the situation in our region, with an eye on the day – hopefully in the not-too-distant future – when all of us are able to safely reunite in our normal patterns of worshipRead More

Welcome!
Some Thoughts from Fr. Brad
In a recent homily, Deacon Dennis shared my decision to tithe 2% of our parish budget to support two community service ministries: Mid City Nutrition ( which provides daily meals to those in need) and The Spero Pregnancy Center (formerly known as The Blue Water Pregnancy Care Center). In addition to assisting these ministries financially, our parishioners will have the opportunity to share of themselves as volunteers.
I made this decision in consultation with The Parish Leadership Team, which has prompted some responses from parishioners asking, “What is a Parish Leadership Team?”
The Parish Leadership Team concept was introduced by The Archdiocese of Detroit at a three-day conference of all parishes in April of 2016. The Leadership Team is comprised of several parishioners and/or staff members who serve as a consultative body to the pastor. The team meets with the pastor at least once a month to discuss strategies of how to most effectively keep the parish on target in implementing its calling to be a missionary people striving to “Unleash the Gospel” in the community.
I inherited a Leadership Team implemented by Fr. Sal comprised of Don Fletcher, Amy Miles, and Deacon Dennis. They have been a tremendous help to me. Upon my arrival I invited Dave Miles, as a staff member and business manager to the parish, to join the team.
Amy and Don, after five years of service, have expressed a desire to step down from the team. I have asked two persons to fill their vacancies, Mary Beth Blum and Hillary Georgia. They have younger families and will provide a valuable perspective in this regard, as well as balancing the team with two men and two women.
What does the use of a leadership team mean for the traditional “Parish Pastoral Council?” The council still exists under another title: “The Steering Committee.” Its function is to ensure that the guidelines expressed in Archbishop Vigneron’s 2017 Pastoral Letter – Unleash the Gospel – are being implemented.
I have used The Steering Committee for input and feedback as we prepare to embark on a new direction in the Archdiocese of Detroit – implementation of Families of Parishes.
I am going to be relying heavily on the Leadership Team and the Steering Committee for support and guidance as we strive to redefine our self as a member of a Family of Parishes.
