100th Birthday Celebration for Sr. M. Willard Reagan, OP – May 10, 2025, 4:00 pm Mass
All St. Alphonsus alumni, staff and parishioners are invited to attend a Mass in memory of Sr. Mary Willard, who served faithfully as the school counselor at St. Alphonsus High School for almost 30 years. Sr. Willard passed away December 1, 2020, at the height of the pandemic, and funeral attendance was severely limited. She would have turned 100 years old this May, so it is a fitting time to say farewell and celebrate her life and legacy. Mass will be at 4:00 pm, with a casual reception afterward in Fr. Yagley Hall.

Where We're At - May 4, 2025 by Fr. Terry Kerner, Administrator/Moderator
Where are we? We are in a good place! Archbishop Weisenburger this past week has appointed Fr. Michael Nkachukwu to St. Alphonsus-St. Clement sharing ministry with the other priests of our Rouge Family of Parishes. Father Michael serves three parishes on Detroit's eastside and currently resides at St. Jude rectory. Father was born in 1950 in southeastern Nigeria and ordained to the priesthood in 1976. He came to the United States in 1989 to study in New Jersey and earned several professional degrees and a Master's in Pastoral Theology and a Doctorate in Applied Ministry. In parish life he is happy to be addressed as "Fr. Michael". His Nigerian surname, Nkachukwu means "Artist of God".
Father Michael is looking forward to joining the parish on the first of July. His philosophy of life is simple and straightforward, namely, "Life is too brief to be wasted." This has led him to apply himself assiduously to whatever work or ministry he is performing unto the Lord. I know our prayers for a permanent priest have been answered-but we also need to pray in thanksgiving for the Capuchins and diocesan priests who have served us over the past several months. Without their generosity we would not be able to celebrate the liturgies we have enjoyed. Please take time to thank and pray for all the good Padres who are with us each weekend. Never fail to be grateful for your faith and those committed to nourishing it through the years.

05/18/25 6:00 am
St. John I, Pope and Martyr (Feast day - May 18) A native of Tuscany in Italy, John was elected Pope while he was still an archdeacon upon the death of Pope Hormisdas in 523. At that time, the ruler of Italy was Theodoric the Goth who subscribed to the Arian brand of Christianity, but had tolerated and even favored his Catholic subjects during the early part of his reign.

05/16/25 6:00 am
Although little is known about Simon Stock's early life, legend has it that the name Stock, meaning "tree trunk," derives from the fact that, beginning at age twelve, he lived as a hermit in a hollow tree trunk of an oak tree. It is also believed that, as a young man, he went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land where he joined a group of Carmelites with whom he later returned to Europe. Simon Stock founded many Carmelite Communities, especially in University towns such as Cambridge, ...
