Kathryn Ling, Pastoral
Associate
Have You Always Wanted to Help Coordinate
Weddings?
We would like to begin the ministry of
Wedding Coordinator here at OLV.
To be a
wedding coordinator all it takes is a willingness to
be helpful and friendly.
It is definitely a ministry of hospitality—an
opportunity to greet people and welcome them to
OLV. The main role of the Wedding Coordinator is
to help lead the rehearsal which involves walking
through processions and the liturgy as a whole.
As a part of this ministry, you will be
responsible for setting up the church before a
wedding. Setup includes assisting the families as
they arrive for this special day and making them
feel at ease and welcome.
We are looking for a few women who
would be willing to be trained so they could
coordinate both the wedding rehearsals and then
attend the wedding to help ensure that the
liturgical ceremony runs smoothly. We will make
sure you feel comfortable in your new ministry
before you begin.
I am hoping to have teams of two so that
the teams could rotate through the different
weddings. Most often, the wedding dates are set
nearly a year in advance so there are no surprise
dates. Most rehearsals last around an hour and
are held on Friday evenings scheduled between
4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Saturday weddings are always held at
2:00 p.m.. The coordinators need to be here by
1:15 p.m. and usually finish by 3:30 p.m. If the
wedding is on Friday, the couple can select either
a 4:00 or a 4:30 p.m., time for the wedding time.
The rehearsal would then be held on Thursday
within the same time frame. It is a great ministry
and a chance to connect with the young couples
and their parents who often
have been parishioners here
at OLV for a number of years.
For
further
information or to volunteer,
please contact me in the
parish office at (248)
349-2621, ext. 254 or
[email protected].

In this Gospel, Jesus says “Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear
out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy.”
“With your ongoing support of OLV’s Society of St. Vincent de Paul, which enables us to provide assistance and hope to those
in our Northville community who are not able to find relief from the summer heat, you will indeed find “an inexhaustible treasure in
heaven!”

We Need You!
September will be here before you know it and
our Faith Formation sessions will begin once again.
At this time of the year, I always reflect upon Luke’s
scripture passage "The harvest is plentiful, but the
workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into his harvest
field.” (10:2) It takes the faith, gifts and talents of
many to help form the children of our parish. For the upcoming year, we
are in need of Aides and Catechists during the Monday 4:45-6 p.m. session
for students in grades 3 and 7, and others to assist the Christ the Good
Shepherd Preschool program which is for 4 and 5 year olds; for the
Monday 6:30-7:45 p.m. session for grade 4; and for Tuesday 4:45-6:00 p.m.
for students in grades 1, 4 and 8.

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 CSA-funded
ministries, programs, and services, please go to
www.AOD.org.
We are also in need of assistants during the Children’s Liturgy of
the Word on Sundays, during the 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. Masses.
We provide all of the materials and just ask that you come ready
and willing to share your faith and the Faith of our Church with these
children. If the Holy Spirit is calling you to work in the Lord’s vineyard,
please contact Mary Ellen Skene, in the Faith Formation Office!
Calling all Preschoolers for the Christ the Good Shepherd Program
The atrium will open once again in the fall for children ages 4 and
5 years on Mondays, 4:45-6:00 p.m. and Sundays for 3 ½-5 year olds, during
the 9:30 a.m. Mass. The program which was developed fifty years ago by
Sofia Cavaletti and Gianna Gobbi allows children to discover the love of
Christ as imaged in the parable of the Good Shepherd through the use of
short presentations where the essential message is proclaimed and “works”
that allow the child to contemplate and assimilate that message and how it
leads them into a closer relationship with God the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. New material is covered every year so that the children can grow in
their knowledge and appreciation of the many symbols and articles of our
faith. Registration forms can be found on www.olvnorthville.org. If you
have any questions, please call the Faith Formation Office.
Scripture Reflection for the family
This weekend’s gospel asks a very important question. What is
your treasure? The answer is not an easy one if we look to our society for
help. We live in a time where how much we do and what we are involved in
says something about our status, or worth. But the commandment given to
us by Jesus to love God and one another does not speak of things or stuff to
do but of the importance of relationships. Jesus teaches that the most
important relationship we can ever have is one we develop with our God.
From that relationship comes the rich ground from which all others grow.
As a family this week, talk about what you treasure. Where is the
family heart? How can you arrange schedules and wants so that they show
the importance of being together in relationship? Remember
when we allow God to be first in our lives he will show us the
way to that which we thought was hidden! The treasure of his
love becomes the key to finding his love in others.
Mary Ellen Skene, Director
Priestly Vocations: Discernment Events for Men
Throughout the year, the Office of Priestly Vocations provides opportunities for men from freshmen in High School through 55
to learn more about the priesthood and discernment. The events hosted by the Office of Priestly Vocations aim to increase awareness
and help the men who attend gain a better understanding of the priesthood, seminary life, and discernment. We encourage anyone
interested in learning more to attend one of our many programs. To view our calendar of events, please visit www.detroitpriest.com.
