Anointing of the Sick
2025-12-05 11:30 - 12:00 (America/Detroit)
Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of healing. Through this Sacrament, Christ strengthens the faithful who are afflicted by illness. Anointing is also a ministry of comfort for those seeking the Holy Spirit’s blessings of health, faith, or strength against temptation.
A priest will celebrate the Anointing of the Sick on every First Friday, from approximately 11:30 to 11:50am in the chapel, following Adoration and before the 12:05pm Mass.

Adult Confirmation Class
2025-12-07
Life-long Catholic, but never Confirmed?
Okay, so you missed your Confirmation in High School or Middle School. Maybe your family was too busy, you were doing sports, working a job, or just sick that day. Whatever the reason, you missed it. You never got Confirmed.
Now as an adult, you want to finish your sacraments of initiation. You want to celebrate Confirmation before you get married. You want to become empowered with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. You want to become a fully mature disciple of Christ Jesus. Whatever your reason, you now want to attend preparation classes and receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Now is the time to get started. This year’s Adult Confirmation Classes are held on Sundays from December through March.
Interested? Contact Sean Donovan.
