On The Rise Bakery is a program of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. This is where Fr. Solanus Casey lived out his ministry in Detroit. Their bakers have recently been released from prison or have completed a substance abuse treatment program. They truly want to change their lives. The weekend they visit us, we will have among us the gentlemen from R.O.P.E. This is the outreach program the Capuchins began over 10 years ago. It involves giving men who had a prison or substance abuse history to be employed for a year in order to establish work history while they are beginning their lives over again. It is a great honor and a tasty treat to sample their work and to help them. They are asking for our parish to purchase the products they have made. They do great work. We hope that everyone will come after the weekend Masses to meet, greet, and hopefully make a purchase. With each purchase of their baked goods, you are helping make possible the provision of supportive housing, training, counseling services, educational opportunities, and self help programs. On The Rise Bakery is a program where each man is responsible to reach back and support the newest member. The social entrepreneurship would not have been possible without the tremendous support of so many churches and individuals in the metro Detroit area. This is truly a story of what can happen when a community dreams of the impossible and believes in it. Miracles still happen! Please support the On The Rise Bakery, on February 15 and 16, by purchasing baked goods that will be in our Social Hall.

This past fall and winter, SEAS SVdP has again been working with many of our SOS guests, helping them to transition out of homelessness by providing security deposits, rent and many, many furniture bank referrals. We work closely with the Furniture Bank of Southeastern Michigan in Pontiac. For a small fee they are able to provide a home full of furniture for our neighbors in need. We wanted to help them help us, so we are collaborating and holding a furniture drive the weekend of February 22 and 23, 2020. The Furniture Bank is looking for clean, lightly used furniture—beds, dressers, nightstands, kitchen tables and chairs, sofas, end tables and chairs. They are also happy to accept donations of bed linens. If you have an item or two, you can bring it to the social hall the weekend of the drive. If you have several items, SVdP and Furniture Bank can schedule a pickup at your home. Normally, the furniture bank charges $30 per pickup—which covers their costs – but they are waiving that fee for this drive. Linens may be dropped off in the social hall between February 10 and 23. There will be members of SVdP available in the social hall the weekends of February 8 and 9, as well as February 15 and 16, to answer questions and arrange pickup appointments. Appointments will be for February 19 through 22. There will also be some SVdP members available the weekend of the drive to help people move their donations to the social hall. Please help us help our neighbors in need.

Gathered Youth Night: Stations of the Cross Preparation

This month at Merlot with the Messiah we are going to explore a period of time in Church history that still reverberates around the world to this day; the Crusades. There are conflicts around the world today that have their roots in the actions and inactions of parties involved. To get a handle on what is going on in the world today, this period of time should not be ignored. History and emotion are not a good combination and so much of this period is wrapped in legend, half truths, and lies. How was the Church and other powerful players of Europe involved? The Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller built such a legend that Dan Brown, Indiana Jones, and the History Channel still tap into that intrigue today. Come on Monday, February 24th at 7PM and we will try and cast some light on this dark time.
