This Lent, SS. John and Paul will support the MCREST women’s shelter in Mt. Clements which coincides with our host week in April.   For more than 35 years, MCREST has provided men, women, and children experiencing homelessness with a safe place to stay and the personalized support needed to rebuild their lives. Through comprehensive case management, life-skills coaching, employment and housing assistance, and our Learning & Resource Center, we help guests overcome the barriers that lead to homelessness and achieve long-term stability.

We will be collecting the following items February 22 – March 21:

• Monetary donations for Bus Tickets – Guests use the bus system to get to jobs, appointments, visits with family, etc.  If writing a check, make out to SSJP and put MCREST in the memo line.

• Laundry pods, dryer sheets, dark men’s/women’s socks, men’s/women’s underwear (all sizes)

Collection containers are located in the church gathering area. Thank you!

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.

In this season of archdiocesan restructuring, it is critical that our parish records reflect our current membership.  We invite all current and incoming parishioners to complete a short, 5-minute survey to help us collect information.  Whether you are a long-time parishioner or registering with our parish for the first time, we appreciate and value your assistance!  Click here to update your information, THANK YOU!

Please note that weekday Masses will be cancelled if Romeo Community Schools are cancelled for inclement weather.  However, the office will be open for business. 

If you find yourself or someone you know in need of assistance, St. Vincent dePaul may be able to help.  Our Conference believes that ‘no work of charity is foreign to the Society.’ In these difficult times, we stand ready to help you get over a financial hump that you may be encountering.  That may look like assistance with a utility bill, rent, or perhaps food.  Whatever the challenge you may be facing, we are here to work with you.  Also, we may be able to find other resources or agencies to assist you.

 If you are in need of assistance, please call (586) 840-1389.  Leave your name, phone number and type of assistance needed, and someone will return your call within 24 hours.  

Drop off your bagged returnable beverage cans and bottles at the specified bins at the rear entrance of the Formation Wing (under the burgundy canopy).  Proceeds will benefit the Knights of Columbus and the SS. John and Paul Youth Group.

Thank You!
