Also, individuals who would be comfortable with AV equipment so that the livestream could be viewed in our social hall. Click for more info!

If you are a liturgical minister and have returned to Mass -- or plan to do so soon -- please contact the Parish Office at 248-625-4580. If you have not served as Sacristan, Lector, Altar Server, EM, or Usher, but would like to, please contact the Parish Office as well. We need your help!!!

Then you should already be receiving emails and/or text messages via the mass communication platform called Flocknote.

We also will be livestreaming Holy Week and other special liturgies. Click and read on for more information!

Our St. Daniel St. Vincent de Paul Conference was just enrolled into the Kroger Community Rewards Program.

When dropping off donations to the St. Vincent de Paul or paper recycling bins at the end of the parish parking lot, you may have noticed the bins were pretty full, or maybe even that there were donations left on the ground outside of the bins. There are several reasons for this situation, and it is OUT OF OUR PARISH'S CONTROL.

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!

Due to COVID concerns, we are currently unable to take donations of used plastic grocery bags for the Doing What MATters ministry. And at this point, it's uncertain WHEN we will be able to accept the bags again. If you cannot store them at your home, please find another way to recycle them. Thank you for understanding!

At least, you MAY have heard about it, but everyone in our parish will start learning about this new initiative within the Archdiocese, because all parishes are going to be involved, and it has the potential for creating significant changes in how parishes operate.  For this reason, here is the first of a short series of articles explaining what’s going on.

Although public Masses have resumed at St. Daniel's, the Cushing Center is still closed to the public. Drop boxes are available on the outside of the building for your use. If you need assistance, please contact the Parish Office at 248-625-4580.
