Grief Ministry

     

We cannot escape the love of God! We also cannot escape grief. So many people are suffering from the loss of a loved one, loss of  job, or the loss of a relationship.  Grief takes many forms.  One thing we know for sure about grief is that love is healing.

Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are those who mourn, for
they will be comforted.”

Would you please consider joining us in Grief Ministry at St. William Parish?  The only thing you need to be part of this ministry is to love our Lord. READ MORE HERE. Please reach out to me with any questions.

Night of Catholic Inquiry

Catholic Inquiry Night
April 15th
7pm -8pm

St. Paul Room

“Becoming Catholic” is a response to God’s invitation by answering the call to follow Jesus as his disciple. This is a process of conversion, communion, and discipleship.  If you believe that you are being called to inquire about becoming Catholic, we invite you to a night of inquiry where you can ask questions and learn the process.

If you have questions or wish to become involved in the process, contact Deacon Mike Chesley, Pastoral Associate  @ 248-624-1421 ext. 345, or call the Parish Rectory office, 248-624-1421.

Pastor's Message

    

 

 

“What good would life have been to us, if Christ had not come as our Redeemer?” These words, which are part of the “Easter Proclamation” that is sung during the Easter Vigil, challenge us to think about the meaning of our lives. We can become so proud, perhaps even too proud, of “our” accomplishments—and yet at other times we find ourselves overwhelmed by our failures and disappointments.

In Jesus,

Rev. Michael G. Savickas Pastor

Reflection

For so many working Christians, it’s too easy to get overwhelmed by the distractions of daily living.

The 3-Minute Reset is a simple, daily discipline focused on spending a moment in thought and prayer, and rediscovering the peace that is always available to us. Hosted by Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick.

Discipleship Opportunities

"Father, you call me to serve, and I know that Christian service means givng of my time and my talents - both gifts from you Lord. Give me the grace to collaborate with Christ your Son in the salvation of souls by offering others what you have given so gratiously to me. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Out of love for Christ and because we are all "called to serve," please examine these opportunities to serve Him and our Parish.
