Hurricane Ida devastated our area and damaged our church. Our people are truly suffering. We are still without power. It's messy. We pray for God's divine hand of providence to intervene. Through it all, we are seeing so much generosity and people coming together to help in the name of Christ. God bless you all who have contributed with supplies and volunteered their time. You are such a blessing to our suffering people. We are still having Mass on Sundays at 10:30 but it is held under the life center outside until further notice. We are not able to live stream during this time. Our church is currently turned into a donation and supply center for those needing necessities after the storm. We are accepting donations from 9 am-2 pm daily, and we distribute from 12-2 pm. We really need volunteers to help us distribute and organize our donations! If you want to help financially, please contribute to our Venmo account at the top of this page. If you need storm-related assistance, please text or call (231) 620-1536 or reach out to Father Antonio directly, or come by the church in person. You can also contact us on our facebook page.

Thanks to our iGiveCatholic fundraiser and the generous donations of our supporters, our 24-hour Adoration chapel construction is well underway. The chapel is located through the corridor that connects the church to the rectory and is the first door on the left. When it is completed, it will be accessible anytime day or night by using a key code. We will officially bless the Chapel on Palm Sunday, 2021.
Per the Bishop's recommendations for our diocese as of early 2021, we are currently celebrating Masses inside our Church while respecting the social distancing. All pews are now OPEN. We have added a Sunday evening 4 pm Mass to accommodate the guidelines. Everyone is still asked to wear a mask for the duration of the Mass. We live stream the Sunday morning Mass as well, on our website here, on Facebook, and on our Youtube channel. Thank you for your perseverance of faith and patience as we work our way through this very fluid situation. God bless you and best wishes of holiness, - Fr. Antonio
