Our parish St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) conference helps those in need with rent, utility, and other emergency assistance. The need is great, and sometimes, the funding is pretty thin. Mr. B’s Roadhouse in Clarkston is sponsoring a fundraiser for our conference on Wednesday, March 22. A portion of the customer’s total bill at lunch or dinner will go to help our conference help those in need.

While you all have been very generous in donating items to help put a smile on kids' faces at Easter, we are still a bit short on a couple of things. Due to time constraints, we have created an Amazon wishlist. Items purchased through the wishlist will be delivered directly to the parish. Why not check it out and see if you can give the Easter Bunny a hand??? https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/BJGYPZ8BRDKZ?ref_=wl_share

Join us every Friday evening of Lent at 7:00 p.m. for this Lenten prayer opportunity.

We still have two weeks left in our Lenten “journey” to provide Easter meals for families in need in Clarkston and Pontiac. This weekend, you’re asked to bring Easter paper plates/napkins, egg dying kits, paper towel, and toilet paper and place in the food bins at church. On March 25/26, we’ll be looking for boxed cake mixes with frosting, and other boxed dessert mixes. We're also helping to provide 150 Easter baskets for children in need. Your help is needed! We can use donatons of: hard candy, chocolates, gum, snack packs, small toys, crayons/markers, coloring books, story books, decks of cards, and small stuffed animals. Please place all Easter basket donatons in/near the collecton basket in the back of church by March 24. Thank you!

Jesus asks, “Could you not keep watch for one hour?”   (Mark 14:37) Join us on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. to be with our Lord for one hour. Spending some quiet time in prayer with Our Lord, Jesus, is a beautiful way to come to know Him more intimately, to love Him more deeply, and to follow Him more closely. 

The Church needs more holy men to hear God's call to the priesthood.  Archbishop Vigneron recently called for a Year of Prayer for Priestly Vocations, starting on June 4, 2022 (the Vigil of Pentecost, when ordinations usually take place) and running through May 28, 2023 (Pentecost). All of us are invited to pray with deep faith and trust that the Lord will call our future priests during this year of prayer. Our future priests need special graces to answer the call in our current world; your role is to pray for the men God is calling to be priests after his own heart. Let us serve them as God calls them to serve us. Click for more info!

While groups like Knights of Columbus, St. Vincent de Paul, and Men of St. Daniel are part of St. Daniel Parish, they are actually separate entities with their own bank accounts. As such, donation checks should be made payable directly to the specific group, NOT St. Daniel Parish. If you ever have a question about how to make your check payable, reach out the Parish Office at 248-625-4580!
