The Jubilee Holy Year of Mercy
December 8, 2015 – November 20, 2016
“Preparing for the Lord’s coming being people of mercy”
Today’s Scripture Readings remind us once again whose people we are, and to whom we belong. Our Lord
Jesus urges us in the Gospel to make ourselves ready for his return, for we do not know when it will happen. Definitely it will happen at the end of all time. But mostly likely it will happen sooner than that when we experience our
own individual deaths and once again meet the Lord in glory. Today we pray as God’s people to have the faith of
Abraham in today’s First Reading so that whenever the appointed hour comes we will be prepared and eager to greet
the Lord with a lifetime of merciful acts of kindness and charity.
Solemnity of the Assumption
of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Monday, August 15
9:00am Mass
Because this year’s observance is on a Monday,
Catholics are dispensed from the obligation to celebrate
Mass. Those desiring to celebrate Mass for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary are
invited to participate at the 9:00am Mass in our church
on Monday, August 15.

Share Today. Shape Tomorrow.
Are you at least 55 years of age with maturity, wisdom,
patience and the willingness to help children? Share
your life experiences by volunteering as a foster grandparent in Oakland County! Volunteer during the day in
local schools and youth facilities. Organized through
Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan, foster grandparents provide support to children with special or exceptional needs and serve as role models, tutors, mentors and friends. Serving 20 to 40 hours per week, income-eligible volunteers also receive a small stipend,
pre-service orientation, and monthly in-service training
sessions. Learn more about becoming a foster grandparent! Call Carol Wall at 248-559-1147, ext. 3919 or
email [email protected].

Please mark your calendars for Sunday, September 11 (the Sunday after Labor Day) for the observance
of our annual Parish Picnic. In the past our Picnic took
place in the middle of July. However the weather in July
tends to be too hot and humid, especially this year, for an
outdoor event. Plus the month of July is a popular time
for families to be on summer vacations. Hopefully in
September the temperatures will be cooler and more
pleasant and with the Picnic taking place after Labor Day
students are back in school so families with children will
have a better opportunity to attend. Once again, please
mark your calendar for Sunday, September 11 and plan
on attending our Parish Picnic!
A successful Parish Picnic depends on two
things: people attending the picnic and people volunteering to staff the various activities and for set-up and cleanup. If you would like to volunteer your services at the
picnic please visit the Parish Picnic volunteer table in the
Gathering Space of the church and sign up. If you prefer
you may contact Nancy Ohman of our parish’s Christian
Service Office at 734-464-4436 or [email protected].
On Saturday, October 1 our parish will be participating in an Archdiocesan wide activity called “Mercy
In Action.” Our parish is sponsoring several service projects on that day which begins with a light breakfast followed by the activities beginning at 9:00am and concluding with lunch at 12 Noon. Please read the information
printed elsewhere in today’s church paper for information
regarding the various service projects being offered.
This weekend we have the opportunity to register
for our participation in the “Mercy In Action” service
projects. Simply visit the “Mercy In Action” table in the
Gathering Space of the church and sign-up. Otherwise
you may contact Nancy Ohman of our Christian Service
Office using the contact information printed above. All
participants must be registered and the deadline for registration is Thursday, September 1.
On a personal note I’m happy to announce that
Archbishop Allen Vigneron has renewed my appointment as pastor of St. Colette Parish! Ordinarily pastors
are appointed to a six year term. My first term began on
July 1, 2010 and ended on June 30, 2016. With the renewal of my appointment, my assignment as pastor is
extended until June 30, 2022. In the early part of 2022 I
will petition the Archbishop for a one year extension of
my assignment here until June 30, 2023; the year I turn
70 and hope to be granted senior (retired) priest status. If
that is the case the Archbishop will assign another priest
as pastor beginning July 1, 2023. I look forward to the
next six (hopefully seven) years serving as your pastor as
we together walk along our journey of faith here at St.
Colette Parish.
God bless you,
Fr. Gary
We still have several military pictures that have not been picked up. If you

usher.
“If These Bricks Could Talk…”
It’s time for some fun! Step back in time!
Everyone is invited to the West Side Detroit
Polish American Historical Society’s Eighth Annual
Summer Social “If These Bricks Could Talk…” taking
place at Abick’s Bar in southwest Detroit on Saturday,
August 20, 12:30 – 5:30pm. Attendees will be invited
to step up to a microphone and share their favorite
memories of growing up and living in the old Westside
Detroit Polish neighborhood. The stories will be videotaped and preserved for the Society’s archives. Not
interested in speaking in front of people? That’s OK
too. You’re welcome to come and listen to the stories
and perhaps meet old friends and start new relationships!
Abick’s Bar is located at 3500 Gilbert Street in
Detroit (north of John Kronk, west of Livernois, south
of Clayton and east of Cicotte). Summer refreshments
(sloppy joes, potato chips, and ice cream bars) served
for a nominal fee. For more information call 855-7656642 or visit www.detroitpolonia.org.
Please Be Careful With the
Automatic Bronze Doors
Two of our church’s four
bronze doors (the doors under the canopy) have automatic door openers.
To operate the automatic doors simply
push one of the square metal devices
located on the interior or exterior
walls near the doors.
If you are opening the doors
manually please be gentle when pushing the interior
panic bar or pulling the exterior door handle. Also,
since the doors open and close automatically they are
programmed to remain open for several seconds. When
this happens please do not try pull on the doors trying to
close them. Pushing or pulling on the doors affects the
mechanism and timing of the automatic opener and
causes them to malfunction. Thank you.

August 27th/28th
Many people in our community are hungry. The Capuchin Soup
Kitchen strives to satisfy not only physical hunger,

bags, paper lunch bags (8# size), canned tuna, canned
chicken, individual fruit cups, individual applesauce
cups, and individual boxes of raisins. Items for the
families of the children she helps are: laundry soap,
pasta, pasta sauce, macaroni and cheese, canned tuna,
and canned chicken. Monetary donations are always
needed, too, and can be put in the box in the Gathering Space or put in the Offertory Collection in an envelope marked Food Drive. There are envelopes
available in the back of church. Thank you for all you
continue to do to help the less fortunate!
On August 27th/28th, volunteers from our parish will collect signatures and donations to help the
Capuchin Soup Kitchen provide the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
an average of 2,000 meals per day served from

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that St. Colette’s Parish has a
First Friday Ministry? Well we do.
Perhaps some of you noticed the ad we ran recently asking for volunteers to assist as Eucharistic
Ministers for the First Friday Ministry. This request
was not to help start up a new outreach ministry. In
fact, it started at our Parish almost twenty years ago
(with one person) and has been ongoing ever since.
Receiving Communion on the First Fridays of
the month is one of those very special practices in the
Church that’s been around for many years and started in
response to our Lord’s request to St. Margarete Mary
Alacoque over 350 years ago.
This Ministry is similar to the Parish’s Eucharistic Ministry to the Homebound with a couple of wrinkles. First, it is offered only once a month (on the First
Friday). Secondly, in addition to those who are homebound, this Ministry is also available for those who attend Mass on Sundays but have no means of attending
Mass on week days. So, if you are interested in receiving our Lord on the First Friday and are either homebound or unable to make it to Mass on First Fridays,
please call Nancy Ohman at 734-464-4436 with your
name and phone number and we will add you to our
First Friday roster.
For those of you who may not be familiar with our
Lord’s promise and are wondering why First
Fridays, here is what He said to
St. Margarete Mary:
"I promise you in the excessive mercy of MyHeart that My all-powerful love will grant to all
those who communicate on the First Friday in
nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor
without receiving their sacraments; My divine
heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment."
(Twelfth Promise)

Right to Life - LIFESPAN Killing!
Killing! Murder! PART I
The recent spat of violence sweeping the country, the many police officers being killed, mobs becoming violent, has many Americans bewildered. How did
we get to this point in our society? Why are there so
many who are angry? When the Supreme Court legalized abortion on demand for all nine months of pregnancy in 1973 for any reason, our society started dehumanizing and devaluing human life. One of the reasons
given for abortion was that the “goal” was to eliminate
child abuse. If you are old enough, you may remember
the pro-abort’s slogan: “Every child a wanted child.”
Killing the babies who were not “wanted” was the solution. Of course, this didn’t work because the “logic” is
completely faulty; abortion hurts the woman and kills a
baby. To be continued next week…

Sacred Heart Major Seminary/Institute
for Ministry
Many students are registering for classes at Sacred Heart Major Seminary this month, thanks to Parish
Empowerment Fund scholarships funded by gifts to the
Catholic Services Appeal. Our major seminary not only
prepares men for ordination to the priesthood and the
permanent diaconate, it offers degree and certificate
programs for lay women and men seeking to be “new
evangelists for the new millennium” at the Institute for
Ministry. Through discernment and theological reflection, the institute guides and challenges commuter students to deepen their commitment to spiritual growth,
attend to their call, and identify their gifts for service in
the Church. For more information about Sacred Heart
Major Seminary or the Institute for Ministry, please go
to www.shms.edu. For more information about CSAfunded ministries, programs, and services, please go

Celebrating a Marriage Anniversary?
Every year in October
our parish celebrates marriage
anniversaries for those who
have been married in the
Catholic Church for ten, twenty
-five, forty, fifty, and sixty
years. During the celebration
the couples receive from the
parish a Papal Blessing and they renew their marriage vows. These anniversary years are chosen
because they are the years the Vatican offers a Papal Blessing for couples on the occasion of their
marriage anniversary.
However these are not the only years that a
couple can request a celebration honoring their anniversary of marriage; especially if it is a significant anniversary such as twenty, thirty, thirty-five,
fifty-five, etc. Even though a Papal Blessing cannot
be given, a simple blessing by a deacon or priest
can be offered. The anniversary blessing for a couple whose marriage took place in a Catholic
Church can be celebrated during or after almost
any weekend or weekday Mass and family and
friends are invited to participate. To make arrangements for the blessing of a married couple celebrating a significant anniversary of marriage, please
contact the parish office at 734-464-4433 or email
to [email protected].

Air Conditioning in the Church
Are you comfortable where
you are sitting today in church?
Or are you a little chilly? If you
are cold, the person behind you
may be fanning him/herself because it’s too warm in church!
The thermostat in our church is set
for 71 degrees. However because of the size and
design of the church building the temperature will
vary a little throughout the building. Also if you
are taking prescription medications you may feel
more chilled than others.
Please be prepared by wearing a sweater or
coat, or maybe try another area of the church next
weekend, so you will be warmer or cooler, and
more comfortable!

To the Parish Family of St. Colette:
It is our parish policy that all registered members of St. Colette Parish use their contribution envelopes
each week when they attend Mass, as we do need your financial support. If you are going through financial difficulties, please put your empty envelope in the basket so we know you are practicing your faith as a parishioner at
St. Colette. If we do not receive envelopes in a calendar year, we will assume you have changed parishes and we
will remove you from our active parishioner list.
Since very few people
contact the Parish Office to update our list,
every 4 - 6 months all
the names will be deleted. The names included in the Sick List
should be parishioners
and their relatives and
friends.
If you would like to add
a name to the Sick List,
simply contact the Parish Office during regular office hours.
