“Authentic married love is caught up into divine love… Thus this love can lead spouses to God…” and in God they find the strength to carry on their roles and responsibilities. -Second Vatican Council-
Join us to celebrate marriage!
On the weekend of February 11 and 12, Father Rob will be blessing marriages during each Mass. He is also inviting all of those celebrating “Milestone Marriages” in 2023 to a social after 4:00 Mass on Saturday, February 11. There will be simple appetizers, beverages, music, and the opportunity to celebrate with one another. Are you wondering if your marriage is considered a “Milestone Anniversary?” Even though every year of marriage lived out faithfully is a milestone to be celebrated, we are thinking YEAR 1 (often the most difficult) and then the “5’s” 5, 10, 15, 20… and any marriage that’s still going strong over 50 years. We want to be sure to have enough of EVERYTHING, so please register below or by calling the Parish Center 835-6777.

Hey guys! Can you spare a few minutes to fill out the survey? It will help us better serve you and your spiritual needs.
Men's Morning of Reflection Survey
The Men's Morning of Reflection has been happening twice a year for some time. Recently, attendance has been low and some have been cancelled as a result. We wish to get an appreciation for future focus with your help. The survey will take less than 10 minutes. Thank you.
Christ Renews is an on-going process for personal spiritual renewal of men over the age of 18 that results in the renewal of our faith community. The process begins with a weekend of prayer, talks reflection, social activities and small group discussion. This all takes place in a relaxed, prayerful, and caring atmosphere. Participants are free to share as much or as little as they wish.
It is held at the Blessed Sacrament Parish Center beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 25th and ending about 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 26th.
Where can I get further information?
You are welcome to call Chuck Zemanek at 989-948-9744, Chris Surbrook at 989-205-6960, or speak to any parishioner who has experienced the weekend.
What about the cost?
The renewal weekend is a gift from the men putting on the weekend to the men attending the weekend. Volunteers provide food and service.
Think and pray seriously about this opportunity . . .
… do you need to deepen your faith? … do you need space for your inner journey? …is your life out of balance? … are you out of touch with the action of God in your life? …are you seeking to enrich your understanding of what it means to be a Christian in today’s world? … do you see yourself as “church”? As a disciple of Jesus? … do you need to listen anew to Jesus’ call?
If you said “YES” to any of the above…then this weekend is for you?
Note: This is not an overnight retreat. You will be home Saturday night; and come back to the retreat on Sunday morning.
If you enjoy walking or jogging by yourself or with others why not turn it into a time of prayer so that you can exercise your body and your soul at the same time?!
If you are new to the Rosary on the Go, Blessed Sacrament will provide rosary rings for each participant and a weekly prayer intention based on Pope Francis’s monthly prayer intention. Please contact Lyn to request your rosary ring(s) and list of weekly intentions. In Mark 16:15 Jesus said, “GO into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature…” On your mark, get set, GO!!!!
