Join us this Wednesday in the Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Each day reflects on the wisdom of saints and pontiffs on the Sacred Heart and offers opportunities for prayer and action, framed by Pope Francis’ encyclical Dilexit Nos (He Loved Us) and Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te (I Have Loved You).

The novena concludes with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Vacation Bible School is only one month out!
Have you registered your little angels yet?

We are blessed this Summer to host "Totus Tuus" from the Diocese of Lansing! The Totus Tuus Theme for 2026 is the Ten Commandments & the Luminous Mysteries. Our lumen Christi family of parishes will host this program at St. Anthony Catholic Church / Temperance, Michigan.

“Totus Tuus” is a Latin phrase meaning “all yours.” This summer youth program is dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic Faith through catechesis, evangelization, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. Totus Tuus strives to bring our faith to life by creating a balance between knowledge of the meaning of the Sacraments and an authentic Sacramental life. Join us this summer as we seek to foster openness to vocations in the young people we serve by placing special emphasis on the importance and necessity of prayer, Eucharistic devotion, and Marian devotion, in addition to catechetical instruction and formation in the Catholic Faith.

~Grade School Program: (1st - 6th grade in the 26-27 school year) runs Monday-Friday from 9:00am- 2:30pm. Children are asked to bring a lunch each day except Friday.

~Middle/High School Program: ( 7th- those who have just graduated high school in the 26-27 school year) meets Sunday-Thursday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

A $5 registration fee per child ($20 max per family) is required.
-Each family will be asked to bring approximately 20 individually wrapped snack items, which we will serve throughout the week.
Registration is NOW OPEN! ----->

On Memorial Day, we remember the brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation.

Across generations, brave men and women have answered the call to serve knowing they might never return home. Their sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy today, and Memorial Day remains a solemn reminder of what our freedom truly costs.

Pray today in honoring the courage of our fallen heroes, remembering their sacrifice, and praying for their families.
