Jesus asks, “Could you not keep watch for one hour?” (Mark 14:37) Join us on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. to be with our Lord for one hour. Next Holy Hour: July 5. 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.
In case you weren't able to join in the Corpus Christi Procession on June 19, here's some feedback from one of our parishioners: "Today was amazing.⭐️Thank you Father John. The procession was lovely, being with fellow parishioners and the community we walked welcoming our celebration of the gift of the Eucharist." Huge thanks to everyone who helped with and walked in the procession. We need to evangelize beyond the four walls of our parish, and this was a GREAT way to do it.

"While the decision announced today by the U.S. Supreme Court is a cause for praise and thanks to God, it does not mean our work is over. I join my brother bishops in Michigan in affirming that the Church must redouble her efforts to ensure every woman, child, and family has the support necessary to thrive in pregnancy, early childhood, and beyond." (Archbishop Allen Vigneron) To read the Archbishop's entire statement and more breaking news, visit https://www.aod.org. For the statement issued by Michigan Catholic Conference and signed by all 11 Michigan bishops, visit https://www.micatholic.org/. Stay tuned to our parish bulletin and social presence for ways we can walk with moms and families in need!
Updates are available regarding the progress in this year's Catholic Services Appeal. The CSA theme is "Fuel the Mission." CSA is an opportunity to celebrate the ways our Church in Detroit responds to the material and spiritual needs of individuals and families. One parish alone could not meet these many needs. It is through the sharing of our gifts and our service that we, together, can be the Church Christ wants us to be. Your generosity makes it possible for more than 170 ministries, services, and programs to love intensely and to bring the indescribable joy found in Christ to our communities. Click for more info!
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!
All are welcome to join us for prayer on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. in the church. After praying the Evening Prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours, we pray together for special intentions submitted to us from parishioners and shared from those who attend. This is the work of the Holy Spirit, a work of faith, hope and love, and a Spiritual Work of Mercy. This ministry of intercessory prayer has really changed lives, especially ours! With grateful hearts, Allan and Christine Moore and Sue Thompson

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!
