With a great turnout of volunteers showing up to lend a hand in packing 61,848 meals, it was a remarkable day filled with compassion, teamwork, and the joy of making a difference. We are so grateful to everyone who came out and contributed their time and effort to this worthy cause. Together, we are making a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate.

O Lord, bless the work of the hands of our volunteers and donors...may this life-giving food nourish those who are most in need, both in body and spirit. May we continue to spread love and kindness in Your Holy name, one meal at a time.
Amen.

 

Journey With The Saints Statue Installation at the Cathedral

By: Ken Warzybok - Fri, Feb 9, 2024 7:27 AM


On Thursday, February 8th, Catholics from Metro Detroit and beyond gathered at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament to witness the 'Journey with the Saints.'  The Cathedral, adorned with its majestic architecture, provided a fitting backdrop for this momentous occasion.

Catholics from all walks of life, united by their faith, came together to partake in this extraordinary experience. The 'Journey with the Saints' served as a testament to the enduring power of Catholicism and its ability to bring people together in worship and celebration. As we are about to begin our own Journey into the Lenten season, may this serve as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the profound influence of saints in the lives of Catholics.collage 21
