Archbishop Vigneron's Pallium Blog
Our Archbishop Allen Vigneron has started a blog to keep in touch with the faithful of the archdiocese as he travels to Rome to receive his pallium. A pallium is a thin, woolen vestment that goes over the shoulders of an archbishop, and it signifies his sharing in the Pope’s ministry to be a shepherd to God’s people on earth. Archbishop Vigneron’s blog, “A Shepherd’s Mission,” can be found here. The blog is already up and running, and the archbishop will be checking in daily. Visitors to the site also will hear from and be able to converse with others who are sharing in the archbishop’s pilgrimage.

Founder Movie Night
July 18 @ 7:00PM

We will begin the film around 7:00PM, followed by some time for discussion. There is obviously no charge, but if you would like to bring a snack to share that would be great. The DeCapite's house is located at 555 Henley, Birmingham, MI 48009.

"We, who by the grace of God are Catholics must not squander the best years of our lives as so many unhappy young people do, who worry about enjoying the good things in life, things that do not in fact bring any good, but rather the fruit of immorality in today's world. We must prepare ourselves to be ready and able to handle the struggles we will have to endure to fulfill our program and give our country, in the not too distant future, happier days and a morally healthy society, but to achieve this we need constant prayer to obtain from God that grace without which all our prayers are useless; organization and discipline to be ready for action at the right time; and finally, the sacrifice of our passion and of ourselves, because without that we cannot achieve our aim.”
-Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, Turin, Italy, 1922
