Michaelite Fathers�

A Letter from Archbishop Vigneron�Remembering the 1967 Civil Disturbance in the City of Detroit

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. ~Matthew 5: 9

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This week marks 50 years since an early-morning raid on a “blind pig” after—hours bar at 12th Street and Clairmount sparked one of the largest civil disturbances in U.S. history, resulting in 43 deaths, nearly 1,200

injuries and millions of dollars in property damage. Although seeds of unrest were sown long before 1967, and solutions have proven elusive even 50 years on, we have made much progress in building up our community to be respectful of the rights of all its members. We can put our faith in Christ and remember His message to love one another. As we recall these tragic events, let us lift our city, our region and one another in prayer. It is only by the grace of the Prince of Peace that we will find peace. Let us also pray for those touched by the violence of 1967, especially those who lost their lives and loved ones. Let us ask for the intercession of our patroness, Saint Anne as we mark this anniversary, and pray that the grace of healing, reconciliation and brotherhood take deeper root in every heart across our archdiocese. During the celebration of the Sunday Liturgies of July 22-23, 2017, I invite our parishes to offer several of the attached petitions for your community’s General Intercessions. Finally, as a visible sign of solidarity and brotherhood, I wish to draw attention to an opportunity to volunteer alongside men, women and youth from all faiths for a six-day Life Remodeled blight removal and beautification project taking place in the neighborhoods hardest hit by the 1967 civil disturbance. Visit www.aod.org/liferemodeled for more information or to register. As Detroit’s pioneer priest Fr. Gabriel Richard said following the great fire of 1805 that devastated the city: “We hope for better things; it will rise from the ashes.” As we recollect 1967, as we work toward healing, and as we move forward together in faith to unleash the Gospel in southeast Michigan, there can be no bystanders. As described in my pastoral letter, all of us in the archdiocese are to commit ourselves to building inter-cultural competency and breaking down barriers that still divide us. In reading the signs of the times in southeast Michigan, it is clear that we are a community that is ready for renewal. Let us make our remembering of 1967 a guidepost on that path to spiritual renewal. As disciples of Christ, let us work together side-by-side to build a better City and region so that when people see our work, they will know us as His followers.

Sincerely yours in Christ, Archbishop Allen Vigneron

Only through discernment, prayer, historical and pivotal circumstances does a diocese change its coat of arms. Synod 16 (Nov. 18-20, 2016), with its focus on the New Evangelization, provided such an experience. Through the Spirit-led journey of Synod 16, the archdiocese has undertaken the design of a new coat of arms to reflect the renewal of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of

Detroit. The Archdiocesan-wide transformation that the Holy Spirit has begun in us to become an evangelizing and missionary diocese is historic. Our current coat of arms hasn’t changed since its introduction 80 years ago in 1937. Today’s design reflects our Catholic identity in southeastern Michigan: a God-given identity that is now uniquely and completely ours as the Archdiocese of Detroit. Through symbols, color and font choices, the Crest portrays our stories. Read more at: http://

We continue with our popular Faith Formation programs and introduce the Stephen Ministry. The replacement of the sound panels and repair of the kneelers are taking place this summer and plans for the social hall upgrades will begin soon. Our school continues to be a Gospel presence in the community and will continue to succeed under the direction of our new Principal.

The Capuchin’s Detroit Legacy

�The Christian Service Commission will be hosting our annual Capuchin Signature Drive the weekend of August 26-27 to support their local Soup Kitchens. Envelopes will be on the church tables beginning August 12 if you would like to turn in a $20 donation and a signature early, otherwise, we hope you will consider making a donation after Masses

in late August. Tables will be set up next to the carport, weather permitting. While the Signature Drive supports the Meal Program, don’t forget there are many other wonderful programs offered by the Capuchins. Allow me to share with you the opening paragraph on their website: “Welcome to the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, a ministry of the Capuchin Province of St. Joseph. Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, we tend to people’s basic needs, especially the need for food. We also stimulate minds, nourish spirits, and attempt to address root causes of social injustice. Founded in 1929 by Capuchin friars Solanus Casey and Herman Buss, the Capuchin Soup Kitchen serves the people of Metro Detroit. We welcome you…whether you are a guest in need of a hand up, a volunteer willing to assist, or a donor willing to support. Welcome to our ministry.” I know many of you support the Capuchins throughout the year. They have many wonderful fundraisers to support their work. The next one is Benefit on the Bay on Friday, August 26, in Harrison Twp. More info is available at www.benefitonthebay.org.

Stewardship Thoughts

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, Jesus tells the crowd a

parable describing the reign of God. In this parable, the kingdom

of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Under the cover of night, while everyone is asleep, the enemy

sows weeds in the same field. The man permits the wheat and

weeds to grow together, but will separate them at harvest time.

We are encouraged to reflect daily on what we are doing to attain

eternal life. Do we strive for holiness by allowing God’s grace to

permeate our souls for strength against evil? St. Paul, in his Letter

to the Romans, reminds us that the Holy Spirit strengthens us to

pray. We, as Christian stewards, know our Lord will hold us

accountable for our stewardship of His gifts of time, talent, and

treasure, and how we use these gifts to build His kingdom. Learn

the St. Michael prayer, and recite it daily to invoke this archangel

to protect us from evil. Attending Sunday Mass and receiving Holy

Communion will also fortify us in our quest to seek holiness—to

purify our lives for eternal glory.

Metropolitan Tribunal Each year, millions of Catholics suffer the pain and hurt of divorce. Many end up feeling separated and alienated from both the Church and their parish community. Gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal help the staff of the Metropolitan Tribunal of the Archdiocese of Detroit offer guidance, hope, and spiritual healing to divorced Catholics. The annulment process brings divorced Catholics back into the sacramental life of the Church. The Metropolitan Tribunal receives more than a thousand formal annulment requests a year. While processing such requests accounts for a major part of its duties, the Tribunal also reaches out to those in need through presentations by its judges at various archdiocesan parishes throughout the year. For information about CSA-funded ministries, programs, and services, please go to www.aod.org.

Many Thanks to those who have already responded with a gift or

a pledge, we have exceeded our goal! Remember that any

amount over our goal is returned to St. Clare 100%, with no

assessment. Excess CSA funds are put into savings for future

roof or parking lot repairs/replacement. To make your CSA gift

online, please go to http://stclarem.aodcsa.org.

This will be a wonderful way to show off our parish and school to people from all over. Planning is underway for the event, and we will keep everyone up to date on what is happening. Right now, we are looking for a few STRONG volunteers to help set up chairs (for the overflow crowd) after Mass on Saturday, September 16, and to help with food and beverage set up the morning of the event.

July 27 - Solanus Casey (part two)

A continuation from last week, this extraordinary film explores the

heroic life of a remarkable, modern-day mystic, Father Solanus

Casey, who was relegated to doing little more than being a simple

doorman in his monastery. But God would transform the role his

superiors assigned him, appointing it a far greater significance to

be continued even beyond his earthly life: that of prophet, healer,

and intercessor. Known as a wonder-worker and a powerful

instrument of divine healing and hope, he touched countless lives.

His untiring attention to the sick and poor, combined with his

prayers, wise counsel, and burning faith brought an

unprecedented outpouring of grief at his death in 1957. More than

twenty thousand people attended the funeral of this selfless

American-born priest. As a part of his canonization process, the

exhumation of his body in 1987 revealed him to be "remarkably

intact, and well preserved," seemingly defying corruption. One

eyewitness was astonished to see a tiny glimpse of Fr. Solanus'

piercing blue eyes again after being buried for thirty years! A

gripping story of this priest's simple and unshakable faith in God's

goodness unfolds through interviews with his friends, colleagues,

eyewitnesses, biographers, and direct recipients of his healing

and prophecy. Rare, never-before-seen film footage and historical

photographs are included with actual footage from the exhumation

of this exemplary Servant of God.
