Our Lady of Sorrows ~ Feast Day September 15.

The Michigan Supreme Court this week ordered the placement of Proposal 3 (formerly known as “Reproductive Freedom for All”), an extreme pro-abortion amendment, onto the November ballot. Proposal 3 seeks the approval of the people of Michigan to permanently amend the State Constitution to include a so-called “right to abortion,” but it goes well beyond that.

Proposal 3 could:

• Allow abortion up until birth
• Allow minors to pursue abortions and sterilization without parental notification or consent
• Exempt abortion facilities from safety regulations
• Allow anyone to perform an abortion, even if they don’t have a medical license
• Repeal or drastically alter dozens of state laws

Governor Whitmer has repeatedly said that both she and her allies in the pro-abortion lobby will, “fight like hell” to ensure abortion is legal in Michigan.

How then do we respond? In addition to voting NO on Proposal 3, we must ‘Fight Like Heaven!’ to combat this proposed amendment by employing the three great spiritual weapons of the Christian life: Prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

To accomplish this, the Diocese of Lansing invites Catholics across the state to join them in a 54-day Rosary Novena that will conclude upon the eve of election day. It begins on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, Thursday, September 15.

This will be 54-days of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Sign up to receive a daily text providing information and inspiration across each of the 54 days by texting ‘FightLikeHeaven’ to 84576.

Please note that the 9:00 AM Mass on 

Saturday, September 17 is canceled due to a funeral. Thank you for understanding!

We hope that you and your Little Saints have been enjoying the new parish resources! 

We invite children grades 1-5 to take a copy of MagnifiKid with them into church and then bring it home. This resource contains at-home activities that can be done with your family after Mass!
