The Silver Rose Litany was led by Brother Joe Marble and veneration was conducted for about 100 combined parishioners and Knights of Columbus from Council 8687 and Assembly 2135.  Eighteen Knights of Columbus were present for the event.

Brother Knights,

 

I am thrilled to announce that a baseball field within the Archdiocese of Detroit is officially being dedicated to our founder, Blessed Michael McGivney. After much hard work and dedication, the Clinton Valley Little League Challenger Division Senior League Baseball Field will be blessed and named in honor of Blessed Michael McGivney on Saturday, June 15th, 2024. The ceremony will take place at 1pm at Neil Reid Park, located at 37705 Harper Road in Clinton Township. We will all meet in the school parking lot at Noon.

 

As this initiative is in partnership with Special Olympics, we are honored to have Robbie Waclawski, the Director of Civic Partnership and State Sponsorship at Special Olympics of Michigan, as our guest speaker. Director Waclawski also serves as the Director of Special Olympics for the Michigan Knights of Columbus State Council.

 

In addition, I am pleased to share that Daniel Downey, a member of St. Jane Francis DeChantel Council 13340 and a league athlete, will be presenting League President Marilyn Wittstock with flowers as a token of appreciation for her dedication to the league. Daniel will be accompanied by his fellow council delegates.

 

I will provide further details as the event gets closer. I look forward to seeing you all at the field for this momentous occasion!

 

Vivat Jesus!

On Saturday, April 20th, Brother Knights from the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo Dioceses joined together for a Cross Catholic Outreach Food Packing event. A special thank you to the Brother Knights of Bishop Fulton Sheen Council #7487 and Grand Knight Paul Kwiatkowski for hosting this exceptional event at Holy Redeemer parish gymnasium in Jenison!

We were thrilled to see a remarkable turnout of volunteers who came together to pack an impressive 60,490 meals in just TWO HOURS and TEN MINUTES, setting a new record! Of these meals, 5,842 packages will be distributed within the local communities, while the remaining 54,648 meals will be sent by Cross Catholic Outreach to a country in dire need of this life-saving food.

The day was truly extraordinary, filled with compassion, teamwork, and the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who participated and dedicated their time and energy to this noble cause.

Together, we are changing lives for the better!

We pray for blessings upon the hands of our volunteers and donors, that the nourishing food they have packed may provide sustenance to those most in need, both physically and spiritually. As we look ahead to future food packing events across Michigan, may we continue to spread love and kindness in Jesus' name, one meal at a time.

VIVAT JESUS!
