Special Presentation – “The Hidden Hero of Detroit: Father Gabriel Richard” – Monday, October 15 @ 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.
What do Michigan Ave, the University of Michigan, the first newspaper in Michigan, and the motto of the city of Detroit have in common? The common force behind all of these was a man almost lost to history: Father Gabriel Richard. Father Richard never dreamed he would minister here, but his hope, vision, and determination changed Michigan forever. Danielle Center, Program Director at Ste. Anne Parish will share about Father Richard’s legacy, a story of close calls and white-knuckled prayer. Registration is required. $5 registration suggested donation.

Aliento – 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m.
Now introducing a monthly Holy Hour with prayer and song. “Aliento” has double-meaning in Spanish, both “breath” and “encouragement.” We loved how “breath” relates to the breath of God/ the Holy Spirit, and hope that the event is one of deep, consoling encouragement. We hope you can join us on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
