Mass of Remembrance, Nov 2 at 7pm

As a community of faith and hope, we gather together to pray for and celebrate the lives of those who have gone before us in the hope of the Resurrection.  During the special mass, we will remember your family member(s) in a special way as you are invited to place a flower near the altar. All are welcome.

Your loved one will be remembered and will be part of this ceremony, even if the death occurred outside of 2026 or the funeral was held at a different church.  Please sign up your loved one’s name at the table in the gathering area before the Mass.

Please join us after Mass for a special reception in the Social Hall.

Christmas Sharing Tree, Oct 31 – Nov 29

Our annual Sharing Tree is up with tags from different charities from which to choose. This year we are supporting the following organizations: Agape Center, Knights of Columbus kids coat drive, Capuchin Soup Kitchen Toy give-a-way, Project Hope, Samaritan House, Our St. Vincent de Paul Conference, St. Francis/St. Max outreach, and St. Vincent de Paul Justice Initiative. Please consider taking a tag to give the people these organizations support a blessed Christmas.

Thank you for your generosity!

Veterans Day Blood Drive – Nov 11, 3pm – 7pm

There is no substitute for blood, organs, tissue, or bone marrow. They are precious. They are perishable. And the need for them is vital.  Any one of us might need a transfusion, at any time. We rely on one another to meet that need.

Walk-ins welcomed and appointments honored

Safe Environments

In the Archdiocese of Detroit, safe environment programs are in place to protect all of us. These programs offer valuable knowledge, assistance, and support in preventing harm to young people and vulnerable adults. All parents, teens, and those who work and/or volunteer in the Archdiocese of Detroit are required to complete an age-appropriate safe environments program. At SS. John and Paul Parish, we ask all our employees and volunteers to join our commitment to protecting the vulnerable. 
All employees or volunteers must complete the following Safe Environment program requirements before they begin their assigned duties:

New volunteers: Click here and you will be directed to Virtus Online where you can create a login and register for your age-appropriate training module. 
 
Existing volunteers needing recertification:  Click here and you will be directed to Virtus Online where you can use your existing username and password.  If you’ve forgotten them, use the “I Need Login Help” button.

Bereavement Support

The mission of this ministry is to provide an empathic and emotionally safe place, where the bereaved are able to express their grief freely without judgement.  To provide care, comfort, and support to those who are suffering a sense of loss.  Join us for coffee and conversation on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm.

Our Bereavement Ministry is also ready to help grieving families as soon as you need us. We are available to offer rosary or prayer services at the funeral home, providing personalized eulogies and comfort when needed. If you feel the need for individualized support, someone is available to listen. We can also provide contact information for a professional therapist if necessary. However, our primary goal as a Bereavement Ministry is to provide an empathic and emotionally safe place or ‘listening ear’ where the bereaved are able to express their grief freely without judgment. For more information, contact Ellen Polzin at 586-489-2569 (text/cell) or polzinssjp@gmail.com.
