The Seed and the Soil: A Call to GrowDear Parish Family, This week, the Word of God gives us one of the most powerful and practical messages in all of Scripture — the story of the Sower, seeds, and the kind of soil we choose to be. It is a story that speaks directly to everyday life, because every single day we are faced with a choice: will we let the Word of God truly…

Finding Rest in the Heart of Jesus Dear Parish Family, Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). How comforting to hear these words which are not simply a beautiful promise; they are a personal invitation from our Lord Jesus to each one of us. The burdens we carry are many. Some of us struggle with illness or declining health. Others carry the…

True Freedom in Christ. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last Sunday we celebrated the Father’s Day and honored and prayed for our dear Fathers, Grandfathers and Fatherly figures in our lives. This Sunday, Jesus gives us a challenging message: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:37). At first hearing, these words may sound harsh. Jesus is not asking us to love our families less. Rather, He…

Do Not Be Afraid… God Knows Your Name. The thread running through all the Readings for this Sunday is one of the most needed messages: Do not be afraid. God sees you. God holds you. Today the Church and our nation both honor ‘Fathers’. It is no accident that this falls on a Sunday when Jesus speaks of the Father’s tender, watchful care – counting hairs, noticing sparrows. The best earthly fathers reflect something of that divine…

Dear Parish Family, Look at the three readings this Sunday side by side and one message emerges loud and clear: God chooses people — to send them on mission. That is exactly what Bishop Gruss is asking of us this year in the Year of the Holy Spirit for the Diocese of Saginaw. The timing is not a coincidence. You Are a Kingdom of Priests. (Exodus 19:2–6a) At Mount Sinai, God tells Moses something remarkable — if the people…

250 Years, One Heart: Consecrating America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Dear Brothers and Sisters, Something extraordinary is about to happen and this parish family is invited to be part of it. On June 11, 2026, the U.S. Bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus marking the first such formal consecration of our country to Christ’s Heart. This historic act coincides with the 250th anniversary of the…

Last Sunday on Pentecost, something significant happened beyond our parish walls. Bishop Gruss proclaimed a Year of the Holy Spirit for the entire Diocese of Saginaw beginning Pentecost 2026 and running through Pentecost 2027. That announcement was not just a calendar note. It was a pastoral call where our Bishop is inviting us to actually encounter the Holy Spirit. And this Sunday — the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity — is the perfect moment to hear that call…

Dear Brothers and Sisters, It’s the birthday of the Church – Happy Pentecost! The First Reading (Acts 2:1-11) brings us back to that Upper Room where we hear about a driving wind, tongues of fire, frightened disciples suddenly transformed into fearless witnesses. That was not a one-time event. The Holy Spirit is alive, active, and moving right now, in our time, in our Diocese. A Historic Day for Our Diocese Most Reverend Robert Gruss, our…
