Is someone you love unable to get to church? TV Mass on Easter and every Sunday gives spiritual comfort to the homebound. Tune in at 8:30 a.m. on WMYD channel 20 and 6:00 p.m. on Catholic Television Network of Detroit (cable). For more cable/satellite listings, or to view the Mass online, visit www.MySundayMass.org. (TV or online liturgy does not meet the Sunday Mass obligation if you can get to church.)
We will be hosting our annual Good Friday workshop again this year on Friday April 18th from 11:45-2:30. During this workshop, the kids (PreK-5) will learn about the meaning of Good Friday and Easter Sunday through various crafts and activities. To register, please either go to our website or contact Jarrod at dre@stowen.org or 248-626-2300.
If you or anyone that you know would like to help share the true meaning of the Paschal mystery to the young people of our parish, please let us know. Without volunteers, we cannot hold this event! Thanks in advance for your help!
Please take the time to help us improve the Religious Formation experience for next year by taking a quick 2-3 minute survey found here. Your participation in the survey is crucial for planning next year! Thank you for taking the time to answer the questions thoughtfully.
include our twin parish in your observation of the Lenten season. The Lenten tree will be in the narthex with envelopes for your contribution for the clinic in Haina, Dominican Republic. Throughout the season, please consider contributing the money you save from acts of self-sacrifice to our twin parish, the Church of the Good Shepherd, formerly known as St. Augustine. The staff relies on contributions from St. Owen to keep the clinic open and to provide medication and food to the most needy.
The clinic at our twin parish is a real success story and you can be proud of the investment you have made there. One hundred percent of your donations go to Sr. Carol Gross in the Dominican Republic where she carefully manages them to get the most out of every dollar.
