When I was 50 I moved to Florida. It was there that I felt the need to “get gas” for my faith as weekly Sunday Mass was just not working for me. Cursillo [pronounced “Cur-see-oh” meaning little course in Spanish] gave me jet fuel. Looking back, I wish I had known about Cursillo in the 70’s or 80’s when I was raising my family. But I was working full time, had 3 kids, husband, house, & dog. [Click the title to read the full story.]

During the Christmas season, my office, a pregnancy resource center, was blessed to be a recipient of several Advent Giving Trees. One church gave us many Target gift cards, which I planned to use to purchase clothes and diapers/wipes for our clients. I went to Target, counted out my cards, and made my purchases. My cart was overflowing...[Click the title to read what happened next.]

It was Tuesday, June 2, 2015 at our home in Detroit, Michigan where it all began. As we had done every Tuesday for a very long time, I had prepared dinner to take to our daughter and her family in Ann Arbor. Jim was helping me carry the meal out to the car; he placed the food in the trunk of the car, backed up and tripped on a crack in the driveway, and fell. He looked up at me and said, “I can't move.” [Click the title to read what happened next.]

My Name is Steve Anthony; I am a husband and father of 2 little angels in Heaven and 1 soon to be on Earth. My Catholic life did not start for me until I met my Wife (dating at the time) Annie, who is a devout Catholic and comes from a family of devout Catholics. She made it clear to me that she would want to raise a family Catholic and because Catholicism is part of Christianity, I was ok with that concept. I did not know how important it would become in my life. [Click the title to read Steve's story.]

My name is Sarah Beckham-Marshall and I am a wife, mother of 2, and licensed mortician in the state of Michigan. Since before I can remember I have been fascinated by theology and how we experience the Divine. I was raised Baptist, but felt myself being pulled to some faith unknown at a young age. I always felt a pull towards the Catholic Church and to Our Blessed Mother, especially in my own motherhood, but never fully committed to conversion. [Click the title to read Sarah's story}

It’s no news to our parishioners how beautiful and intricate our new stained glass windows are - and they recently caught the attention of journalist John James Anderson, who published a story about them in the Saline Post.

In September 2020, I received a random phone call from a special acquaintance, Kay. I was surprised to hear from Kay as we did not have regular contact. Plus, Kay works during the day, so I knew it was important. Kay had a request. A concern and difficulty had arisen in her life, and she asked me to pray. Of course, I said yes. She then went on in an apologetic tone indicating that she knew I was busy and for me to please not make a special trip but could I, if possible, light a candle the next time I was at my church for this special request?

Approximately four years ago with the help of a spiritual advisor, I began to become aware of Mary and her gentle motherly presence in my life, as I was at that time experiencing trials in my personal life which pushed the cracks in my spiritual life up to the surface creating havoc.
