Our confession schedule has changed, effective
January 1, 2021. Our new confession schedule is as follows:
 

* Holy Mother Church in Her liturgical tradition has ascribed to different days of the week particular focal points for reflection. Wednesdays are ascribed to St. Joseph. To honor St. Joseph in this year dedicated to him, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed at 8:00am on Wednesdays and confessions will be heard until Benediction at 8:45am, followed by final blessing before the 9:00am Mass. During adoration, devotions will be prayed, along with time for silent prayer. We will still pray the Our Mother of Perpetual Help devotion (Tuesday) and Divine Mercy Chaplet (Friday) after the 9:00am Mass.

Catholic Services Appeal 2020

RISE UP AND BE NOT AFRAID!

As we continue our mission to bring the love and hope of Christ through our communities, even in the face of challenge and uncertainty, we are reminded of his invitation to his disciples to “Rise up, and be not afraid” (Mt 7:17). How can we, too, answer this call and love one another as Jesus loved us? How can we better be his hands and feet in our communities?Your generous support of our mission as an Archdiocese through the Catholic Services Appeal will enable us to do just this, and to continue to respond to the needs of our parishes and communities, especially now, and continue the work of Christ to bring people of Southeast Michigan the kind of hope that does not disappoint.Your gift helps support men who are discerning a vocation to the priesthood.It impacts youth, family, and young adult ministries to help people at all stages of life grow in faith. It helps Catholic schools continue to form the next generation of leaders and disciples.. It helps our food pantries and soup kitchens feed and clothethe poor. Your gift brings Jesus to Southeast Michigan in a very real and tangible way.

Thank you for your support. Please prayerfully consider making a one-time or a monthly gift today at www.givecsa.org and select St. Ephrem Parish.

NOVEMBER 13 UPDATE from Archbishop Vigneron

After carefully consideration, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron is extending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation until Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021 for people living in or visiting the Archdiocese of Detroit. As we have from the beginning, we will continue to closely monitor the situation in our region, with an eye on the day – hopefully in the not-to-distant future – when all of us are able to safely reunite in our normal patterns of worship. Whether or not they are able to attend Mass, all baptized Catholics are reminded of the grave necessity they have to keep holy the Lord’s Day.
