Donuts

Coffee, juice, warm conversation and some of the tastiest donuts in southwest Michigan provide a great setting for fellowship after the 8:45 AM Mass. This "power" breakfast happens in the Bennett Gym on most Sundays, September to May.

Migrant Ministry

Each Wednesday evening, from July through August, a group of our parishioners visit a migrant camp in Lawton. At the end of the summer, they hold a party, with piñatas, face painting, lots of food, candy and prizes. Everyone has a wonderful time.

Many of these families return each summer and we look forward to seeing these friends again. Preparation meetings for volunteers are held each year in June.

Keep this ministry in prayer, and if you want to join in this year's visits

Sr. Mary Catherine at 343-6256, ex. 108.

Parish Bazaar

The Parish Bazaar has been held for over 30 years.  On the first Saturday of November, and that Sunday, craft items and baked goods made by parishioners are sold in a Christmas holiday atmosphere.  There are raffles of crafts, coffees and homemade donuts made by the parish donut crew, and items from various vendors (Ministry with Community candles are a certain booth).
