A Beautiful Icon finds a Home

By: Greg Brunson - Thu, Apr 27, 2023 7:39 PM


The last remaining Icon Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians has found a home at St Mary Catholic Church in Chelsea. 

Fr William Turner, former Knights of Columbus State Chaplain was elated to receive the Icon.   For years the Icon was without a home then my wife Suzanne came to the rescue and suggested Fr Bill.  Knowing that Fr Bill is PSD Ken Unterbrink’s pastor I called Ken and asked him if he thought Fr Bill would be interested – he replied ‘oooooooh yeah’.  The rest is history!

Rev. Fr William Turner, Pastor of St Mary Parish along with Deacon Wayne Slomiany and State Faith Director Greg Brunson.

By: Gary Merritt - Tue, Apr 25, 2023 11:59 AM


Sunday April 24th, three Knights of Columbus councils participated in a bike giveaway at Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Church in Waterford Michigan.

 

Our Lady of the Lakes recently joined the expanding program. Despite the chilly weather, the day was a success, after all, it’s hard to frown when you’re riding a bike.

The councils that were involved in the Our Lady of the Lakes bike giveaway were Fr. John Howard Council #8500 from the Church of the Holy Spirit in Highland, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Council #7444 from Saint Mary of the Snow in Milford and Pope St. John XXII Council #5436 of Our Lady of the Lakes in Waterford.

Thank you to everyone who made this day happen.
