From the pastor\u2019s desk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Faith Formation Program got off to a good start last Monday with Registration and Orientation. Parents can still enroll their children by calling the parish office at St. Kateri and attending class this coming Monday at 5:30pm. Our Director for Faith Development, Larry Winey is very hopeful for all families with school-age children to attend. New to the team is retired Deacon Tim Pilon who has considerable experience with Religious Education and speaks Spanish as well. We welcome him to the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deacon Tom will again be directing the Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA). This program is for adults considering Baptism and joining the Church. It also facilitates adults who have been baptized but have not been introduced to the Eucharist or been confirmed. Last year Deacon Tom’s class ushered into a fuller faith life with nineteen folks \u2014 average age twenty-four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deacon is also offering a Scripture Class on the Gospel of Matthew also offered on Mondays beginning on October 6th . Sessions run from 5:45 – 7:15pm. like the OCIA program you can register by calling the parish office at 313.336.3227.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning this weekend in the bulletin we will be highlighting the story of the first millennial saint, Carlo Acutis who was canonized last Sunday by Pope Leo. Each segment of his story leads up to the Vatican Exhibition of Eucharistic Miracles that St. Carol researched. His work will be displayed at St. Kateri October 4th 1 2th and is open to the public. Carlo Acutis died of leukemia at age 15, our first Millennial Saint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great week for and with the young people of St. Kateri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
