Catholic Service Appeal 2026
Each year our parish participates in the Catholic Services Appeal, which supports ministries no single parish could do alone—such as preparing seminarians for priesthood, strengthening evangelization, supporting Catholic schools, and serving those in need throughout southeast Michigan. Every parish is given a CSA target, based on a formula tied to our offertory, including Christmas collections. This is a real obligation. If parishioners meet it through CSA gifts, wonderful. If not, the parish still pays it from operating funds or savings. Here’s the good news: every dollar given to CSA above our target comes back to our parish in full—and without the 7% Archdiocesan assessment that applies to most other parish income. That makes CSA one of the most effective ways to support our parish once the goal is met. When you give to CSA, you are supporting the wider Church and helping our parish remain financially healthy at the same time. Thank you for your generosity and your prayers.
What's happening in our community?
.
Heavenly Father, we lift up in prayer today our brothers and sisters who have gone before us, sacrificing their own lives for the protection and safety of others.
We are grateful for their service. May they inspire us to live selflessly in our own lives, as Christ calls us to do.
In Jesus’s name we pray.
Amen.
Good moments in our parish...
May Crowning
The May Crowning ceremony was a success, drawing together our community to honor Mary by celebrating this beautiful tradition.
Franciscan Outreach Fundrasing
We had a wonderful gathering at The Church of the Transfiguration on May 17, 2026.
200 people came together for a luncheon and fund raiser for the Franciscan Outreach Program.
Our generous supporters donated almost $10,000 to feed our neighbors.
We are grateful to all those that participated and volunteered to help with the organizing, the raffles and tours.
Special thanks to Deb Eaganwest for sponsoring the event and covering all the expenses!!

May Family of Parishes Prayer
Dear brothers and sisters, let us call without fear to our Father, trusting in the powerful intercession of the Easter Lamb.
Suggestion for the Universal Prayer:
Lord, our God, we pray to You.
- We pray for the Church, that the Spirit of the Lord may gather all the baptized of different traditions and confessions into one family.
- We pray for ordained ministers, that the Good Shepherd may make their hearts like His own gentle and humble.
- We pray for the Archdiocese of Kaunas celebrating its centenary (or: for the bishops of Lithuania), that the Holy Spirit may teach it a language of love understood by all.
- We pray for persecuted Christians, that, as they suffer dishonor for the name of Jesus, they may receive from Him patience and joy.
- We pray for leaders of nations and politicians, that the hand of God may break the power of evil that spreads lies and wars.
- Let us pray for the Jewish people, that the Blood of the slain Lamb may become for them the beginning and cause of a new era.
- Lord, Father of Christ and our Father, may the pure prayer of Your Church obtain mercy for the world and a joy that lacks nothing. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
