Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron was ordained a bishop on July 9, 1996. As the Archdiocese of Detroit prepares to celebrate his milestone anniversary, I would like to, on behalf of our parish community congratulate and extended best wishes to our spiritual shepherd. Archbishop, thank you for your vocation, ministry and pastoral leadership in our Archdiocese. Ad multos Annos!

We thank you, God, for the gift of our fathers, for grand-fathers and godfathers, and fathers-in-law too. Send your Holy Spirit upon our fathers, in whose laps we were cradled, on whose knees we were bounced, by whose hands we were fed, instructed, and at times corrected. In whose company we learned to work, play, and pray. At whose side we heard your word and celebrate your mysteries. Heal their pains and disappointments. Forgive all that needs to be forgiven. Give to them the good that they have given others.
