“Some people believe they can go through life without without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.”

Saint Padre Pio

If you ordered caramel apples from the Knights of Columbus, they will be ready for pick up after Masses this weekend, October 7 and 8! Payment of cash or check is due at pick up.

Thank you for supporting the work of the Knights of Columbus! 

The Church seems to have a lot of old and seemingly archaic traditions involving love, sex, marriage, relationships, friendships, and so much else. Is it possible to really live like this in the 21st century? St. John Paul the Great certainly thought so.

Beginning on October 9, Father Danny will be leading a walkthrough of John Paul’s great work, Theology of the Body. What did the Holy Father actually say? 

“Do not be afraid! Come and see!”

SERIES SESSIONS:

October 9: Welcome & Christ Appeals to the “Beginning”

October 16: Christ Appeals to the Human Heart

A very heartfelt thank you to all who participated in the Paint-A-Bowl Party last weekend! Our monetary contribution yielded $609 to Catholic Charities of West Michigan. 60 attendees painted 80 pieces of green ware. Most will be part of the Soups-On-For-All Fundraiser in January.

Thanks to OLC for providing the space, the support staff, and refreshments!
