THANK YOU to those who have already responded with a gift or a pledge to the Catholic Services Appeal.

“Service of the Sacred,” a music and liturgy conference, will be held this coming Monday through Thursday at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. Presented by the Archdiocese of Detroit’s Sacred Music Task Force and funded in part by the Catholic Services Appeal, the conference is designed for those who minister through music, supporting the Gospel message through song. Sessions will include liturgical music for children, chants, and choral conducting, as well as a vocal master class. There is also a special track for clergy members.

Gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal support the work of the Christian Worship Office, which certifies pastoral musicians in the Archdiocese of Detroit and coordinates the Archdiocesan Chorus along with other music ministries for the Archdiocese.

For information about CSA funded ministries, programs, and services, please go to www.AOD.org.

Please return your 2014 pledge card today. Remember, funds received over and above our target are returned to the parish, and may be used for day to day expenses. Together we CAN reach our goal!
