We received our first payment from the Witness to Hope Campaign of $539,269.50. This will be the first of our quarterly payments (April 2018) until we receive our share of the 8 million dollar goal. Thank you to all who have contributed! We still need your help! We are currently at $6,517,368 towards our pledge goal of $8,000,000.

Basic design has begun on our new Ministry Center! Our talented Building Committee started basic program modeling for our new Ministry Center. We will also re-open talks with the City of Ann Arbor beginning in late May 2018.

Town Hall meetings: We will need your feedback! Look for an announcement in the fall for design Town Hall meetings.

Remember we are meeting present needs and building for the future. If you have pledged – Thank you!

50 Days to Pentecost: Mondays, April 16-May 21 at 6:45 pm in the PAC
Experience Pentecost like you’ve never experienced it before!
Help us plan for you! Sign up here!

What? A Journey through scripture with both the first Christians and modern day witnesses to our Lord. Our journey leads to Prayer to the Holy Spirit with Fr. James Conlon, celebration of Pentecost, and a look at the new feast day established by Pope Francis on the Monday after Pentecost.

When? Monday evenings at 6:45 pm beginning April 16 and running through May 21 (the new memorial for the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title, Mary, mother of the Church)

Where? We meet in the Parish Activities Center (PAC) on Mondays at 6:45 pm.

How? We’ll enjoy appetizers and pastries, a talk on the Holy Spirit, talks by guest speakers on modern day witnesses to the work of the Holy Spirit, and lead to prayer over us for the Holy Spirit.

Who? For those who desire to know, live, re-connect, or restir up the life of the Holy Spirit in their own lives.

Why? God does not want us to rely on ourselves to live the good life. Jesus sends us his Spirit and desires to completely immerse us in the Spirit, giving us the power and ability to live a life rich in love and happiness, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God (Romans 8:14).”
