Week of November 1, 2026

1) Archdiocese of Detroit Restructuring Round 2 Draft Models: Review the Models and Share Your Thoughts

The Archdiocese of Detroit has released the Round 2 draft pastorate models for Planning Area 11, which includes our parish. Please take some time to review the proposed models and share your feedback with us. Your thoughtful comments will help us understand what parishioners believe works well in the proposals, as well as the questions or concerns you have.

Please click on the button below to review the models and to offer your feedback. Each parish is asked to gather feedback and report back to the AOD a summary of parishioners' comments.

2) Annual Memorial Mass

As we celebrate this month of remembrance for those who have gone home to the Lord, we invite you to join us for our Annual Memorial Mass on Monday, November 2, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., as we gather in prayer to remember and commend our deceased loved ones to God's mercy and eternal care.

During the Mass, the names of those remembered will be offered in prayer as a sign of our faith in the Resurrection and our hope that one day we will be reunited with those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith.

Extra memorial flyers are available at the Altar of St. Joseph. You may write the names of your deceased loved ones on the flyer and place it in the glass jar at the Altar of St. Joseph so they can be included in our prayers during the Month of November. The parish will continue to remember these names throughout the month.

If you are unable to pick up a flyer in church, you may download and print a copy by clicking the image below.

10) Authentic Discipleship Group

11) Vote 'no' on Proposal 1 this November

From DetroitCatholic.com: One important role Michigan Catholic Conference plays in the life of the Church is to encourage and equip Catholics to practice faithful citizenship – that is, to participate in elections by voting with a conscience that has been formed by the truths of the faith.

MCC prepares and distributes election-related materials to dioceses and parishes to help the faithful prepare for elections. Catholics are encouraged to evaluate political candidates and their positions on various policy issues, particularly if candidate positions promote the common good and protect human life and dignity. 

The Church never endorses political candidates or parties. The Church does, however, evaluate policy issues based on the principles of Catholic social teaching. Following deliberation and action from its Board of Directors, which includes the state’s diocesan bishops, MCC will occasionally take a position on a ballot question that may either promote or harm the common good. 

This November, MCC is urging Catholics to vote NO on Proposal 1, which will ask voters if they support a convention to rewrite the state constitution. 

Unlike other ballot measures – which must demonstrate broad support by garnering approval by the Legislature or by gathering thousands of signatures from Michigan residents – this proposal to convene a constitutional convention is required by the Michigan Constitution to appear automatically on the ballot every 16 years. The specific purpose of a constitutional convention is to elect individuals to rewrite the state’s guiding document and place it before voters for passage or rejection. 

Since the 1963 constitution went into effect, voters have been asked three times if another convention should be conducted. On each occasion, MCC and voters at the ballot have said ‘no.’  

The rationale to vote NO on Proposal 1 is this: State politics have increasingly become nationalized. If Michigan voters approve the creation of a constitutional convention, it would undoubtedly attract the influence of national political actors and organizations, each with millions of dollars to spend promoting a particular issue or partisan interest. The result would mean a Michigan constitution that does not reflect Michigan’s interests. MCC and the bishops of Michigan do not believe such a result would advance the common good in this state.

While improvements could indeed be made to the current constitution, the existing document already allows for amendments or changes on a narrower, issue-by-issue basis. This is done through the citizens’ initiative process or by a vote of the Legislature. Both options allow for a proposal to be placed on the ballot for a vote of the people.

Michigan Catholic Conference is far from alone in opposing Proposal 1. A broad nonpartisan coalition of groups have come together to urge Michigan voters to reject the ballot question and avoid a wide-ranging, unpredictable constitutional convention. 

To promote the common good in this state by keeping Michigan residents in charge of the state’s constitution, MCC urges Catholic and all voters this fall to vote NO on Proposal 1.

12) Traveling Vocations Chalice

The Traveling Vocations Chalice Program helps families pray for more people to say “yes” to God’s call – especially to the priesthood and religious life. The special chalice serves as a beautiful reminder to pray that God will raise up faithful priests, sisters, and brothers for our Church.

The Church has always encouraged everyone – not just priests and sisters – to pray for vocations. Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI both reminded us that the call to pray for vocations belongs to all of us!

When we pray for vocations, we are asking God to bless and guide those he is calling to follow him in a special way. Every prayer helps! Families who take the chalice home are invited to pray together each day that God will inspire and strengthen those discerning his call.

How It Works

• At Mass: At the end of Mass, Father invites a family to come forward to receive the chalice and a special blessing.

• At Home: The family takes the chalice home and places it in a special spot – perhaps on the dining table, prayer corner, or mantle.

• During the Week: Each day for two weeks, the family takes a few moments during their regular prayer time to pray for more vocations and for perseverance among those already following God’s call.

• Share Your Experience: A journal travels with the chalice. Families can write a short note or prayer about their experience before returning it.

17) This Sunday's Readings: November 1, 2026 - The Solemnity of All Saints

18) Sunday Reflections by Jeff Cavins

The Solemnity of All Saints

In this Encountering the Word video, Jeff Cavins reflects upon this week's Solemnity of All Saints, focusing on the communion of saints and the reality that believers do not have to live out their faith or navigate life alone. Jeff encourages us to intentionally select a personal group of saints tailored to our own life circumstances and needs to pray for us and serve as role models.

The readings are:

First Reading: Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 24:1bc-2, 3-4ab, 5-6

Second Reading: 1 John 3:1-3

Alleluia: Matthew 11:28

Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12a

19) Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Do You Want to Be a Saint?



Friends, All Saints Day falls on a Sunday this year, so the Church can give special attention to this important solemnity. Léon Bloy famously said that there is only one real sadness in life: not to be a saint. Sainthood is the ordinary goal of Christian life; it’s what the whole spiritual life is about. But what does it mean to be a saint? What do we have to do to become one? And do we truly want it?

20) Grow+Go

Grow+Go, content is designed to help you understand what it means to be an evangelizing disciple of Christ. Using the Sunday Scriptures as the basis for reflection, Grow+Go offers insight into how we can all more fully GROW as disciples and then GO evangelize, fulfilling Christ's Great Commission to "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19) The concept behind the weekly series is to make discipleship and evangelization simple, concrete, and relatable.

22) TALLer Tales

Fulfilling a Bucket List Trip (Part 16): This is the continuation of my “travelogue” of my journey to Alaska... and Seattle... with my mom.

After our journey to Snoqualmie Falls and the surrounding area, we returned to my aunt and uncle’s house for a final dinner and an opportunity to enjoy one another’s company. While I was sitting in the backyard with my Uncle Jim, there was a pause in the conversation when he chuckled and said, “Who would have thought I’d have a nephew who was already 62?” I wish I had replied, “Who would have thought my youngest uncle would be 76?” Yikes! While all the cooks were busy in the kitchen, I stayed outside and simply enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather.

We then enjoyed a great feast that included some of Uncle Glenn’s famous chocolate chip cookies. His cookies are somewhat legendary in our family, and I was quick to send a picture of them to my siblings. I didn’t even need a caption. They would have immediately known that Uncle Glenn had whipped up a batch of the cookies we always enjoy. You’ll notice in the picture that there was also a bowl of grapes. Well, with Uncle Glenn’s chocolate chip cookies in the house, those grapes never stood a chance. That came as no surprise!

After taking a few more pictures of the siblings, we called it a night. We said our goodbyes, and my uncles took us back to the hotel, where we packed up and prepared for our morning Uber ride to the airport.

Our great trip was quickly coming to an end, and we were grateful in so many ways for all that had been accomplished. God is so good! Two big items on the bucket list were fulfilled.

The following morning, the day of our departure back to Detroit, I arranged for an Uber. I indicated on the app that I needed a larger car because of all our luggage and my mom’s power chair. Thankfully, the Uber app delivered, and we ended up with a pretty big car.

Our driver was from Ukraine. We had a delightful conversation with him, not only about his family in Ukraine and the ongoing war, but, more importantly, about faith. I don’t remember exactly what I noticed, whether it was a cross or a bracelet, but it was clear that he was a Christian. As I often do when I encounter someone publicly expressing their faith, I thanked him for being willing to witness to his faith so openly.

Once I shared that I was a Roman Catholic priest, he opened up a little more. He quickly shared how important his faith was to him and his family.

He went on to tell us that people often notice he is a Christian. He said that he has had several Muslim passengers who, upon noticing his Christian faith, encouraged him to convert to Islam. Some, he said, were quite persistent, even looking up the closest mosque and encouraging him to go there. Our driver made it very clear that, no matter how intense the pressure might be, he would never turn his back on Christ or stop witnessing to his faith.

This part of the conversation touched me. I thanked him for his bold witness and for standing firm in Christ, especially in a world that has grown increasingly cold toward Christ and basic Christian values. Well, let’s be honest, ours is a world that has grown increasingly indifferent toward religion in general. I never imagined in my lifetime that I would witness such a profound secularization of Western society. We need more people like this Uber driver who are willing to stand up for their faith and not be afraid to do so.

Little do many of us realize how something as simple as wearing a visible cross necklace or bracelet, or clothing with Scripture or another symbol that identifies us as Christian, can open the door to a meaningful conversation. Even without saying a word, these simple signs can become a quiet but powerful witness to our Catholic faith.

Next week: The trip home, with some unexpected and absolutely spectacular views of Mount Rainier from the air, and helping my directionally challenged sister, Jackie, retrieve us from the airport. What a story! And then some final reflections on bucket lists and making time to be with our aging relatives and friends.

Enjoy the week. Know of my prayers! Happy November!

In Christ,

23) Voiland's View

St. Augustine was a brilliant man. Beyond mastery of worldly concerns, he was given unique and powerful understanding of spiritual matters. His extensive writings about Godly things continue to feed us today as we grow in our Catholic faith, even though he lived in the mid-4th and early 5th century. Among the spiritual topics he addresses in his writings is the problem of prayer.

Prayer in itself is not a “problem,” but it can be problematic for many of us who struggle to feel a sense of accomplishment in our prayer life . . . or even a simple sense of adequacy. The truth is that a great many of us feel like we do not pray well – whatever “well” is supposed to mean. Our minds keep wandering; we lose track of the words we say in our prayer; we fail to take seriously the words we offer up; we do not pray often or with regularity; and to top it all off – we fall asleep right in the middle of saying our prayers.

The way St. Augustine speaks about prayer can be consoling to us who get tied in knots over being good pray-ers. Augustine reminds us that the prayers we say are said, not for God’s benefit, but for ours. It may seem strange to think that God does not profit by our prayers. Since we are told by the Church that we have an obligation to pray, we might naturally think of prayer as a payment of sorts. If we owe it to God to pray, we see ourselves as having a debt to pay. So, when we send our prayers up, our prayer debt is paid. Yet, prayer is not meant to be a simple this-for-that transaction. Prayer is supposed to be communication between God and us, his children.

We must remind ourselves that prayer time is not a performance and it is not intended to be “a job.” We do not get points for the number of words we recite. Through prayer, we also are not trying to coax God into doing something which is outside his plan for us. Rather, we pray to realign ourselves with God’s will for us. Through prayer, we allow God to move our desires and our decision-making in a way that improves our lives. In this sense, we might say that we “get points” for praying, but not in the way we get a pop or a bag of chips out of a vending machine by putting in cash or swiping a plastic card. When we pray well, we open our hearts to the possibilities of receiving God’s care for us – but on his terms – not in accord with our personal expectations.

Receiving anything on someone else’s terms is always difficult for us. We want things how we want them. Back in the 1970’s, Burger King told us we could “have it your way” when we ordered a burger. Nice! Now, it seems that we have run with that theme through the entire gamut of things we want: food, clothing, cars, vacations, jobs, education, relationships, and, sadly, even designer babies. We want religion our way, too. We might stick with a religious faith or church denomination for a good, long while . . . until one of our emotional buttons gets pushed that will not release. So, we decide to jump ship and find a new place to have it our way. We can be pushy like that with God as well.

When we go to God to pray, it is easy to sometimes bring along some bad attitude. Certainly, if we are having a bad day or are struggling through a family or personal crisis, God needs to hear about it. But the Lord also needs to be thanked for things – both big and small. He is interested in hearing our requests and needs. He wants to know about our physical strengths and weaknesses. God also wants us to sit quietly and just be with him, to think about our relationship with him. And, truly, good relationship with God our Father is the foundation of good prayer.

Our Father wants to be with us. Our prayer life is an opportunity to intentionally make ourselves more present to God than we normally might during the course of our busy days. As we get better at allowing God to accompany us in more and more of the activities of our day, we get closer to the goal that St. Paul speaks about of “praying constantly.” God is always by our side, seeking us out, while we are easily distracted. By seeing God as a dear parent and friend who deeply loves us, our whole life becomes a prayer in itself. When we come to see the loving company of God as a critical part of our prayer life, worries about words and prayer styles naturally soften. Less consumed by the supposed technicalities of prayer, we will be better able to receive what God sees fit to provide for us – what we actually need. We will then see that God sees in a way that we cannot. And, trusting, as St. John says, that God is love, our prayer life will let us rest better in him.

In his love, 

Fr. Bob

24) Ascension Presents: Father Mike Schmitz

How Can You Be Sure of God’s Will?

How often does it feel like certainty about the will of God is elusive in the midst of discernment? Drawing from the wisdom of Mother Angelica, Father Mike reflects on what it truly means to walk by faith and trust that God's will is often best seen in the rearview mirror.

25) Words on the Word: November 1, 2026 - Saints Alive

Nobody comes even close to the saints in walking the talk.

When it comes to putting their (spiritual) money where their mouths are, the saints – any of them – can teach us – all of us – a thing or two about how to live out the beatitudes and thus find heavenly happiness.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” Jesus says in today’s gospel passage from St. Matthew. “Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.

“Blessed are the meek,” Jesus continues, and “blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness … blessed are the merciful … blessed are the clean of heart … blessed are the peacemakers … blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness … blessed are you when they insult and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.

“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.”

It’s a clear path, and the saints are the best tour guides.

Pope Francis spoke on this topic a couple years ago, reiterating that God desires all of us to be saints. A story in The Detroit Catholic at the time said the pope emphasized that “the … beatitudes … are a clear roadmap to sainthood, and the path followed by (many saints).”

The pope elaborated: “’So many brothers and sisters’ have lived lives ‘shaped by the Beatitudes: poor, meek, merciful, hungry for justice, peacemakers,’” he was quoted in the story as saying. “They are ‘God-filled,’ people, unable to remain indifferent to their neighbor’s needs; they are witnesses of luminous paths, which is possible for us as well.”

So, on this feast of All Saints and beyond, let’s go out there and work toward sainthood!
