FR. RON’S REFLECTIONSThe primary goal of Archbishop Vigneron’s “Unleash the Gospel” effort is to form all of us into “joyful missionary disciples.” At the heart of this mission is the need to help parents and families to form their children as “joyful missionary disciples,” a responsibility they took on when they asked to have their children baptized. Every parish is to do what they can to serve the parents and assist them in fulfilling this responsibility.
One of the ways our Faith Formation Ministry does this is through a program called “Discover Your Church.” This week, in place of the regular classroom Faith Formation sessions, the students’ entire families will join us on Monday through Wednesday evenings for a “Discover Your Church” session which will focus on ways to evangelize others in our day-to-day lives. Past “Discover Your Church” sessions have been very creative and helpful and have been well received by our parents. Please keep this program in your prayers this week. Parenting children in the faith is very challenging these days, and parents are in need of our prayers and assistance.

ST. ISIDORE CHURCH MACOMB, MICHIGAN 2
CONNECTING POINTWhen have I witnessed Christ’s light shining through someone?
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.”MATTHEW 5: 14
Fr. Ron recently shared that in all of his years in ministry, our staff has by far the deepest spirituality that he has ever encountered. I believe a big part of our staff’s faith has been influenced by the opportunity that we have had to witness Christ’s light shining through the members of our Church.
On a regular basis, volunteers fill our church walls with the courage and enthusiasm to do the Lord’s work. Our St. Vincent de Paul put in more than 4,500 hours last year offering person-to-person service to those who are in need and suffering. Our Faith Formation volunteers spent almost 5,000 hours helping young people to grow in their faith. A couple of years ago a group of women came together to start an initiative to create prayer blankets so people of St. Isidore who are hurting can feel connected to our community by receiving a prayer blanket that was made by the hands of these women and blessed by our priests. Our “Comfort Crafters” design a handmade creation that offers a “hug” from the community to the recipient. Our Baby Pantry is funded through generous donations of parishioners and worked by dedicated people who make sure young parents sense the love of Christ through this outreach. Our Rosary Makers created more than 13,000 rosaries in 2019 and distributed them all over the world, an incredible witness to one of the traditions of our faith. Two pillars of strength within the community, the Knights of Columbus and the Altar Society, regularly offer the power of their people to assist the community in various initiatives, providing each of us the opportunity to do more based on their support. On a weekly basis hundreds of volunteers invest their time and talent to ensure that our Mass is a worthy celebration. They offer their dedication, voices, and care to ensure that more than 2,000 people can be a part of the sacrifice of the Mass.
Catholics are typically humble people but there is no doubt that the incredible effort that our community puts forth is apostolic in nature. These good works are not intended to be hidden or reduced. This is the outward facing part of the Church that should be celebrated. The Church, with all its fault, is still the single most powerful influencer for the good of humanity since the dawn of civilization. Our light is meant to reflect the light of Christ, the source of all that is good. Let us use every possible encounter to share His light with others and invite others into His mission.
Chris Kozlowski
FR. RON’S REFLECTIONSWe also ask you to keep fifteen members of our Youth Ministry and their chaperones in your prayers as they participate in Rainbow XXXVIII next weekend. Rainbow is an annual retreat of the Archdiocese held in the Renaissance Center where upwards of two thousand high school students have a powerful spiritual experience and an enjoyable time interacting with each other. We thank all of you who have supported various Youth Ministry fundraisers to offset the costs of the retreat.
Lent is right around the corner! Please plan on joining us for Mardi Gras on February 25th, a great way for us as a parish to prepare for the Lenten Season.
Please remember to bring your old palm branches to church these next two weekends. We will burn them, and then use their ashes to be signed on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday.
Blessings,Fr. Ron
Youth in grades 9-12 & their friends are invited!Contact Beth Beebe at (586)286-1700 ext. 2116 or [email protected]

BABY PANTRY
PRAYER BLANKET MINISTRYPrayer blankets & shawls are available at no cost in the church office.
“It is one of the most beautiful compensations in life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”RALPH WALDO EMERSON
“Our caring affirms a person’s worth. This affirmation is what our Lord wants each of us to do. He wants us to do kind actions without anything in return. We can point others to God because we have shown His love for them in a very real way. When we give of ourselves, God pours His love, peace and forgiveness into our hearts and into our lives.”ANONYMOUS
Do you have a relative or friend dealing with a health issue or any crisis, problem or disruption in their life? How about a St. Valentine gift for that person? Please stop in the office and get a free prayer blanket or shawl for that someone you know who needs comfort.
Thank you from the “Comfort Crafters.”
“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”ST. AUGUSTINE
Please keep in mind our neighbors in need as you shop this week. We are in need of:
