1) Relics of St. Thérèse of Lisieux to visit National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica

From DetroitCatholic.com: The National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Royal Oak will host the major relics of St. Thérèse of Lisieux as part of a national tour Oct. 1-8.

Shrine was the first parish in the United States named for St. Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-1897) in 1925, shortly after St. Thérèse was canonized, making it the ideal location to kick off the national tour.

The Royal Oak basilica already houses smaller relics of St. Thérèse, along with her parents, Sts. Louis and Marie-Azelie Martin. But the last time St. Thérèse’s body — the reliquary contains most of her bones — was at the National Shrine of the Little Flower was 1999, before the Shrine was declared a minor basilica by Pope Francis in 2014.

Fr. John Bettin, the basilica's rector, said St. Thérèse is among the most popularly venerated saints today, with millions devoted to her spirituality of the "Little Way." The opportunity to venerate her relics is a chance to connect to the saint, he said.

“I think the thing that touches people regarding St. Thérèse’s spirituality is that it’s very simple in a good sense,” Fr. Bettin told Detroit Catholic. “It’s easy to follow, and basically one of the most popular models and expressions of her spirituality is showing God’s great love in little ways in the everyday life of a Christian.”

The relics' visit will begin with Mass at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1, the first of 23 Masses celebrated at the basilica throughout the eight days, with times for veneration taking place between Masses.

2) Saints in Italy

Join Teresa Tomeo on a spiritual journey in Italy! In this free video series, you’ll walk in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Clare of Assisi, and Bl. Carlo Acutis. Explore the places where they lived, prayed, and learned to surrender themselves to God. Most importantly we’ll be inspired by their examples to grow stronger in our Catholic faith as we, too, seek to become saints.

As you embark on this pilgrimage, reflect on God’s gifts revealed through the lives of the saints, the beauty of sacred art, and the splendor of magnificent churches and basilicas.

3) Walking with Purpose

Monday Morning Class: 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Beginning September 22

Beholding Your King

Moderator: Karen Licari

We live in a self-centered culture that all too often leaves us feeling empty and dissatisfied. A fuller view of God and His glory is the perfect antidote, which you will experience in Beholding Your King.

We’ll study King David, select psalms, the temple, and many Old Testament prophets and see the ways in which they all point to the coming King of kings, Jesus Christ. This Bible study is the second part of a two-part series and is ideally completed after Beholding His Glory.

What we’ll discuss:

• Prophecies about Jesus in the Old Testament and their effect on people past and present.

• Psalm 23, the most familiar of all the Psalms which has comforted people throughout the centuries.

• God’s steady purpose in both the Old and New Covenants and the promises He kept to all of us.

Monday Evening Class: 7:00 - 9:00 PM

Beginning Sept 15

Beholding His Glory

Moderator: Katie Lubera and Frankie Chamberlain

As we study the people and events of the Old Testament, we’ll encounter problems that only Christ will solve, needs that only He will satisfy, and promises that only He can deliver.

Beholding His Glory shows us how all Scripture points us to our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. We’ll learn to recognize and appreciate God’s plan for our own lives, His awe-inspiring majesty, and His desire for personal intimacy with each one of us.

• Learn how our Savior was first revealed in Genesis and how He is the answer to the issues of shame and fear.

• Understand important parallels between the lives of Moses and Jesus, and how they both led their people to freedom.

• Accompany Joseph of the Old Testament on his life journey. The God who proved faithful to Joseph will not disappoint us!

4) Hearts Afire Study and Prayer Ministry

5) Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life

A Powerful Study

on the Life of Jesus Christ

by Marcellino D'Ambrosio, Jeff Cavins, and Edward Sri

The marvelous treasures of the Catholic Faith—the Eucharist, Mary, the saints, and the Creed—are all centered on a single figure: Jesus Christ. Jesus is more than a historical or theological figure. He is our Savior, our Redeemer, our Lord, and our God. While many of us already know a lot about him, how well can we say we really know him? Filmed on location in the Holy Land, Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life is a new and fresh look at Jesus—who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, and what he did for our salvation. This encounter with Christ will inspire and empower you to center your entire life on him as you come to know and love him in an ever-deeper and more intimate way.

This 10-week study begins Tuesday Nights from 7-8:30 pm

In person in the Sr. Carol Center and Online

beginning Oct. 7

14) This Sunday's Readings: September 21, 2025 - The Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

15) Sunday Reflections by Jeff Cavins

The Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

"No servant can serve two masters.

He will either hate one and love the other,

or be devoted to one and despise the other."

(Luke 16:13)

Reflecting on this Sunday's Gospel, Jeff Cavins encourages us to avoid the love of money and to be good stewards of the gifts God gives to us. The Sunday Readings are:

First Reading: Amos 8:4-7

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 113:1-2, 4-6, 7-8

Second Reading: 1 Timothy 2:1-8

Gospel: Luke 16:1-13

16) Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

The Use – and Abuse – of Power

Friends, for this Twenty-fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time, I want to focus on the first and second readings. When read together, they give us a very good sense of Catholic social teaching in regard to the question of power. The Church’s position here is a subtle one. It doesn’t demonize political and economic power; after all, God is described as all-powerful, so power can’t, in itself, be a problem. But it is very much concerned with how we use that power. 

17) 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.

19) TALLer Tales

“My Baby:” When I was first assigned to St. Joan of Arc Parish, Monsignor Bass told the staff to get ready. He warned them they were going from one of the least technologically advanced priests to one of the more advanced ones. I remember vividly, during one of my pre-meetings with the staff and Monsignor Bass, discovering that while the school had “somewhat” of a network, the Parish Center was still relying on a dial-up modem! I was floored. Even before I officially arrived, I was already ordering equipment to bring “real” internet to the Parish Center.

Over the years, we’ve expanded the network significantly, from new switches to upgraded wireless access points. The network has become “my baby,” and I’m very protective of it.

Eventually, we installed our first set of fiber cables, connecting all seven buildings underground. That was a fun project, but those fiber cables, while cutting-edge at the time, could only handle 1 GB of traffic. With increasing bandwidth demands, especially in recent years, it became clear we needed to start planning for a whole new network design. Last year, in preparation for this upgrade, we installed 10 Gb fiber throughout the campus. With that infrastructure in place, we were ready to implement a new network design whenever the time came.

In 2017 and 2019, I installed a bunch of Cisco wireless units and their firewall/appliance. It worked well, but the licensing fees were outrageous—$7,000 per year! In August 2022, we paid $21,000 to cover us through August 2025. As this August approached, I started receiving multiple emails about renewing the license. I didn’t want to invest more money in our aging system. What I didn’t realize at the time was that if the renewal fee wasn’t paid, Cisco had the right to “brick” the entire system, that is, rendering it completely inoperable, even though we owned the (now outdated) equipment.

As we all know, items on “The List” take time, even when it’s something I’m passionate about. That’s just how “The List” works! But when I found out our entire campus network would go dark on September 25, this project shot straight to the top of the list. With some panicked calls to my friends at RMW Productions, Rob and his sons Chris and Justin Wisnieski, we quickly hatched a design and plan. Truth be told, Justin is the wiz kid of the group when it comes to networking.

When all the new Ubiquiti equipment arrived, we scrambled to finalize the installation plan. The only problem? Time was ticking. Cisco grants a 30-day grace period, and that was it. Our options were to pay for another year, risk the network shutting down at the end of the grace period, or invest in new equipment to meet our growing needs.

Justin created a mock SJA network at his office, programmed everything, and assured me it would be a smooth transition. He kept trying to reassure me not to worry, but I have to admit I was skeptical. This was a major technology project at SJA, and we all know how projects go at SJA!

“D-Day” was this past Monday, September 15, when we planned to swap out the core piece of equipment. We strategically chose this date because the school would be at Lake St. Clair Metropark (a.k.a. Metro Beach) for their summer reading reward outing. That morning, I ran into Mary Pat Brennan in the Parish Center kitchen, and we chatted about the network swap. I jokingly told her, “I’m going to be in a bad mood most of the day.”

Justin had everything ready to go. Rob, knowing how on edge I was, brought Chris, Jacob, and himself along just in case. All hands were on deck because of the Monsignor! They knew I’d be watching like a hawk and trying to “help,” so Rob wanted to be prepared. We started at 9:30 a.m. With my pulse racing, we unplugged the network cables from the core Cisco firewall, and I sent out a message to the staff letting them know the network would be up and down for several hours. By 12:00 p.m., Justin had the new core equipment up and running, and the network was humming along with only minor hiccups. I let out a HUGE sigh of relief; I hadn’t expected it to go THAT smoothly.

When all was said and done, and we were monitoring the stats on the new Ubiquiti dashboard, I turned to Justin, Chris, and Jacob and admitted, “I was REALLY, REALLY nervous about all of this.” Justin grinned and replied, “REALLY? We couldn’t tell at all, Monsignor.” What can I say? We were dealing with “my baby!”

An Update: Many of you have noticed that work on the first “White House” has been in full swing. As some of you might remember, when Father Andrew left and Father Adam arrived, Father Adam had to live in a nearby apartment because the First White House (as opposed to my White House, which we call the Second White House on Overlake) was filled with mold. Over time, and with extensive dehumidification, the mold levels in the house were significantly reduced. It was recently decided that, with some additional work, Father Bob could move onto campus. He’s currently been living in the parish condo on Doremus Street.

To prepare the house, we’ve had to remove all the “soft goods,” like carpeting and cloth furniture, that had been affected by mold. We’re also working on a foundation project to not only waterproof the basement but also reinforce the crumbling walls. At one point, we considered tearing down the house, but the cost turned out to be about the same as restoring it. Last weekend, if you were here on Saturday, you might have noticed that the house got a fresh coat of paint on the exterior, with all the trim and shutters painted black. It looks fantastic! 

Father Bob and our team have been instrumental in getting the house back in order. The ever-eager Father Bob has spent many evenings and weekends doing a lot of the work himself! He’s even been spotted wielding a chainsaw, cutting down trees and shrubs. One day, a “spy” (possibly my mom, who was out for a walk while recovering from surgery) snapped a picture of Father Bob cutting down the dead front tree. She sent the photo to Dina, who quickly texted him, “WHAT are you doing all by yourself?” Father Bob was baffled at how Dina found out so quickly. He knew she kept a close eye on the cameras, but he didn’t think he was on anyone’s radar THAT day!

You’ll continue to see work being done on the house for the next couple of months, with the hope of getting Father Bob moved in by Thanksgiving!

Enjoy the week. Know of my prayers.

In Christ,

20) Voiland's View

For those of us who find the current state of our world to be less than ideal, it might be worth considering how God is personally involved in our lives. How responsible is God for making things happen or not happen in our day-to-day? We can be assured that God is not one who brings sin and evil into our lives. He cannot be the author of that. God is all good and only produces good. We understand God to be someone who loves us and wants good for us. He will protect us and provide us with the things that we need.

But there are instances in Scripture where people of the Old Testament feel abandoned by God. One place we read of this abandonment is in Psalm 44. The people feel abandoned by God even though they believe that they had not violated his covenant – that they had not turned away from the instruction he had provided so they could live good and fruitful lives. They question God’s faithfulness to them. It is a good question. If we are doing what God asks of us, why would he not provide for us the gifts that He says He will give us? Yet, it seems that this question might call for a better analysis of the way that we hold up our end of our faith relationship. Particularly so, in this time that we find ourselves, where the world is chaotic in so many ways. Violence is measurably on the increase. Visible hateful violence continues to rear its head all over the globe. Where is God in all this? And if he loves us, if he's a loving God, why would he allow this to go on?

God can love us in two different ways. He certainly loves us by giving us life – by creating us – and giving us the spiritual and material gifts that we have. He enables us to have life and to have it to the full. He also gives us freedom. Like any parent, he seeks to have us, his children, grow, and ultimately be able to live successfully on our own. God gives us more and more freedom to let us spread our wings, test our growing adult theories, to engage in a lot of trial and error activity, and to hopefully learn the right way to live and to be successful. Our Father enables us in this way to provide the necessities for us, his kids, to grow. This is very loving.

There is another form of parental love given to a child who is going down the wrong path in life. Direct punishment can be an expression of love as a response to bad behavior in an effort to limit damage done. But such punishment is generally most effective combatting ignorance and immaturity. As we grow into adulthood, a loving parent may find the best chastisement to let a wayward child fall flat on his face. Sometimes, “the hard way” is the only way a lesson will be learned. Letting a child learn the hard way, without totally abandoning her, can also be a very loving act.

It would be worth our while to consider how God might be loving us now – personally. A truly candid evaluation of our personal behavior, in light of what we know in our hearts that God expects of us, might be revealing. Might we be giving ourselves too much credit for being “good,” when in fact our behavior is more like “so-so?” If we rank our moral lives as an ‘8’ or a ‘9’, when the truth is more like ‘5’ or ‘6’, is it possible that God might be trying to get us to up our game by letting our world fall in on us to get our attention? God does not bring the violence and despair upon us. He does not deal in anything but the good. Yet he can certainly stand back and let us stew in our own juices, if he sees positive value in doing so.

God, when he is reprimanding, correcting, and trying to bring us to the truth, can allow us to fall on our faces when we refuse to open our eyes to the truth that he tries to show us in a more gentle fashion. Is that what's going on now? Particularly in our world today we see a lot of persecution of Christians, Catholics. We have to wonder why God allows this to happen. We should think of the way that we live our Catholic lives. Certainly, we can acknowledge the good things we bring to the world. But are we really, genuinely living the life that we know we should live? Even among those of us who are “good people” or “devoted Catholics,” does the whole of our life reflect our commitment to living the Catholic faith? Maybe . . . maybe not. The reality is, our witness to Christ may not be that great. There may be things that we find ourselves doing that are actually harmful to our own well-being or the well-being of those around us. Those things need to be corrected. Because to whatever extent we are affected by the violence and destruction of life that is going on around us, maybe we're being spared in a great way from harm that could just as easily be foisted upon us for failings that we have allowed. 

As a whole, the body of Christ is responsible for the way that the world is. If, as the body of Christ, we're not holding up our end of the deal, the world is going to fall down. It would behoove us to once again look at our lives and examine those places that need to be shined up a bit. Particularly, those of us who regularly strive to be as faithful to Christ as possible, need to be bold about bringing Jesus’ truth into the world. When we are together with people who are bellyaching about how awful things are, how the world is going to hell in a handbasket, we need to open our mouths and say, “It's because God has been thrown out. It's because we have walked away from the guidelines that the Lord himself has given us to live happy lives.”

Shying away from our Faith contributes to our social, moral decline. We have been given so much. And “from those to whom much has been given, much is expected.” If we are not giving back to God in response to what he has given us, we will be held accountable. Although we may not be violent evildoers who destroy others, we still have a responsibility to make our world into what God intends it to be. And we need to keep our world from becoming what it should not. We cannot enable evil by standing on the sidelines. We must not remain silent when injustice is done. We should pray to be courageous in truth rather than worry about making waves. Maybe the upheaval going on right now in our world is allowed by the Lord as a means of correction. Are we paying attention?

There are modern-day saints among us who sacrificially give everything they’ve got to the Lord. Other people viciously fight God at every turn. Many more of us are stuck in the wishy-washy middle. We’re okay, but not great. It’s worthing thinking about. Is there room for at least a little improvement?

Peace in Jesus,

Fr. Bob

22) Words on the Word: September 21, 2025 - God Before Money

Odd, isn’t it, how something can sometimes seem like it happened a lifetime ago, and, at other times, it seems like it was just yesterday.

The Covid-19 pandemic, in many ways, fits that description.

Nevertheless, whether it seems like it was long ago or just part of recent memory, there are a few realities that came out of that pandemic. One is that, even though there was suffering and huge uncertainty, many people rose to the challenge and were their best selves. Medical professionals come to mind, as do those who found new and creative ways to reach out and minister to the suffering and lonely.

The other reality: some bad actors used the suffering and the uncertainty to lie, cheat, and take advantage of others and of the system.

The Detroit News reported a few weeks ago on three residents of Macomb County who recently pleaded guilty to an attempt “to scam more than $3 million in federal Covid-19 relief funds.” According to the story, the group fraudulently applied to the U.S. Small Business Administration to collect Paycheck Protection Program loans intended to help businesses through the worst of the pandemic. 

The story went on to describe how, as part of the effort, the trio supported the applications with “fictitious payroll, health insurance, bank and tax records.”

These weren’t the only people caught, the story explained, just the most recent.

The lesson for people of goodwill is a reminder of what Jesus explains in today’s gospel passage from St. Luke. Namely, choosing money over God is the wrong path.

“No servant can serve to masters,” Jesus says. “He will either have one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon.”
