Join us tomorrow morning & every First Friday!

Adorable Heart of Jesus, consumed with love for men and thirsting for their salvation, Heart so loving yet so little loved, deign to accept this act of reparation that we eagerly offer to make amends to Thee for the outrages, the irreverences, and profanations which Thou dost receive in the adorable Sacrament of the Altar. Pardon, O most Sacred Heart, the forgetfulness and ingratitude of men, the abandonment and indifference with which they repay Thy immense love!

Forgive us all, forgive all poor sinners! Remember not our innumerable faults, and from the open wound of Thy Sacred Side let floods of grace and mercy descend upon us. Guard and protect us, hide us in this divine wound till that happy moment comes, when in our heavenly country we repeat with the angels throughout eternity: "Glory, love, gratitude, and unceasing praise be to the most loving Heart of our Saviour!"

In the name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Join us this Wednesday in the Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Each day reflects on the wisdom of saints and pontiffs on the Sacred Heart and offers opportunities for prayer and action, framed by Pope Francis’ encyclical Dilexit Nos (He Loved Us) and Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te (I Have Loved You).

The novena concludes with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Vacation Bible School is only one month out!
Have you registered your little angels yet?

We are blessed this Summer to host "Totus Tuus" from the Diocese of Lansing! The Totus Tuus Theme for 2026 is the Ten Commandments & the Luminous Mysteries. Our lumen Christi family of parishes will host this program at St. Anthony Catholic Church / Temperance, Michigan.

“Totus Tuus” is a Latin phrase meaning “all yours.” This summer youth program is dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic Faith through catechesis, evangelization, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. Totus Tuus strives to bring our faith to life by creating a balance between knowledge of the meaning of the Sacraments and an authentic Sacramental life. Join us this summer as we seek to foster openness to vocations in the young people we serve by placing special emphasis on the importance and necessity of prayer, Eucharistic devotion, and Marian devotion, in addition to catechetical instruction and formation in the Catholic Faith.

~Grade School Program: (1st - 6th grade in the 26-27 school year) runs Monday-Friday from 9:00am- 2:30pm. Children are asked to bring a lunch each day except Friday.

~Middle/High School Program: ( 7th- those who have just graduated high school in the 26-27 school year) meets Sunday-Thursday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

A $5 registration fee per child ($20 max per family) is required.
-Each family will be asked to bring approximately 20 individually wrapped snack items, which we will serve throughout the week.
Registration is NOW OPEN! ----->
