Statement from Shrine Parish

Do you have a calling to serve our parish? Please join us after all Masses, February 25th and 26th in Heritage Hall to learn about our liturgical ministries.

No snow storm will stop our January speaker from giving her presentation this evening. Please join us beginning at 6:30pm.

As we begin a new calendar year, it’s a good time to look back at parish operations and make any necessary corrections and adjustments for the future. Here at the Shrine, a recently concluded review by the Archdiocese of Detroit identified some concerns regarding administrative and financial practices. To help us address these matters, the Archdiocese is providing some specialized, on-site oversight of the parish business office for the next few months.

You’re invited to join thousands of Catholics nationwide in prayer for the respect of human life during a special novena called 9 Days for Life. Visit 9daysforlife.com to sign up to receive daily intentions from January 19th through the 27th.

Thank you for your patience! All service is restored.

Please note parish offices will be closed Friday, December 23 to Tuesday, December 27. Offices will also be closed Friday, December 30 - Monday, January 1.
