Dear Parishioners of St. Joseph and Our Lady of the Lakes,

Bishop Powers has shared this message he received from the USCCB

“Inspired by the need for societal healing and personal conversion of hearts, the ACTS XXIX (apostolate in the Archdiocese of Detroit) team is calling for a National Day of Prayer and Fasting, Thursday, September 24, 2020. This idea springs in part from the fact that President Lincoln on three occasions called the entire nation to fast and pray for God’s mercy on our land. It seems to be a propitious opportunity to call all people of good will to ‘ask God for what only God can do’”

In response to The USCCB Secretariat of Evangelization and Catechesis for a National Day of Prayer and Fasting on Thursday September 24,2020 Fr. Gene will lead us in prayer by live streaming the following worship:

9am Mass from Our Lady of the Lakes

Veneration of the Blessed Sacrament

Praying of the Rosary

The Our Lady of the Lakes church will be open for this prayerful time and social distancing and masks will be required.

Fasting is a personal decision and is not required or obligatory for this day.
