Catholic Mass Mob of Detroit at St. Alphonsus-St. Clement on August 11, 2024
The Mass Mob of Detroit has been holding events at various churches around Detroit since 2014. On a chosen Sunday, everyone attends Mass at a specific parish. Prior Detroit Mass Mobs have been very well attended, filling these churches and providing them support. The concept requires very little effort. You simply show up for a Mass (as announced) at a beautiful, old church. These historic churches are awe inspiring. The Detroit Mass Mob had scheduled an event at our church on August 11. Join us for Mass at 10:00 am. Following the Mass a reception will be held, and tours will be given highlighting the rich history of our church and the cemetery.

Where We’re At - July 20, 2024 - by Fr. Terry Kerner, Administrator/Moderator
Where we’re at? We are in a pretty good place with a new parking lot now available for use. There are additional parking spots, including ten handicap spaces. Entrance and exiting will still occur at the Gould St. gate. The old Calhoun street exit has been moved to the end of the parking lot, still allowing exiting on Calhoun street. Signage will offer directions that are easy to follow. The poles for the expanded lighting have been installed and the City of Dearborn has approved the electrical work. Once DTE completes the connection to the new pole on the corner of Schaefer and Gould we will have lighting for parking spaces and for the flag pole on the original high school site. Some earth sculpting for small berms needs to be done before fencing can be put in place. Hydroseeding, along with basic landscaping, will commence in September. Soon we will begin planning for memorial bricks and gardens on the high school site. Stay tuned for the invitation to help with the project. One final addition to the project will be the placing of Our Lady of Fatima statue on the massive piece of foundation from the high school. We are currently looking for a suitable outdoor state of Our Lady. All in all, much has been accomplished over the past several months. I would encourage parishioners to invite family members and friends to return home for Mass and see the “New Look”.

Saint of the Day
St. Pantaleon: Saint of the Day for Saturday, July 27, 2024
07/27/24 6:00 am
St Pantaleon came from Nicomedia, near the Black Sea, in Asia. He was such a famous doctor that the Emperor himself chose him for his own doctor. Pantaleon was a Christian, but the bad influence from the pagan court caused him to give up his Christian faith entirely. A holy priest named Hermolaos made him realize what a sin he had committed. Pantaleon listened to him, detested his sin and joined the Church once more. To make up for what he had done, he greatly desired to suffer and die for ...

07/26/24 6:00 am
Saints Joachim (sometimes spelled "Joaquin," pronounced "wal-keem") and Anne, are the parents of the Virgin Mary. There are no mentions of them in the Bible or Gospels, what we know comes from Catholic legend and the Gospel of James, which is an unsanctioned, apocryphal writing form the second century AD. We do know from scholarship that the Gospel of James was not written by James, the Brother of Jesus, despite its claim to be so authored.
Even the early Church fathers expressed skepticism ...

07/25/24 6:00 am
Nothing is known of St. James the Greater's early life, though it has been established that he is the son of Zebedee and Salome and brother of John the disciple.
The title "the Greater" was added to St. James' name to help distinguish him from the Apostle James "the Less," who is believed to have been shorter than James "the Greater."
