We have a ministry group, Doing What MATters, that recycles your plastic grocery bags by cutting them into strips, processing the strips in "plarn" (plastic yarn), and crocheting the plarn into sleeping mats for the homeless. They recently donated 20 mats for the Sleeping Bags for the Homeless Event in November. Now they need to restock their bag supply! Bags may be from Kroger, Neiman's, Meijer, Target, Walmart, etc., and should be CLEAN and DRY. The ladies cannot use plastic produce bags or other types of plastic bags ... just grocery/store bags. Just drop your bags into the food bins at church before Mass. Thanks!

Spending some quiet time in prayer with our Lord, Jesus Christ, is a beautiful way to come to know Him more intimately, to love Him more deeply, and follow Him more closely. Join us on Tuesday, October 19, at 7:00 p.m. to be one with our Lord for one hour.

COVID couldn’t stop Birth Choice Services ’mission to save the lives of the unborn, but it has impacted it. We want to help! Our St. Daniel Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a Baby Bottle Drive to benefit Birth Choice Services. Pick up an empty baby bottle from the church gathering area today, then return it with your donation to the crib after Masses through the end of the month. At other times, bottles may be dropped at the Parish Office. Your generosity will help save the lives of the unborn and will be most appreciated.

Faith Formation is not just for the kiddos ... we offer many adult opportunities as well! There are various Scripture Study groups, Spiritual Journaling, and more. Check it out!!!

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!
