The Bishops in Michigan released a letter to the faithful with regards to the COVID-19 vaccines. In it, they explain the moral questions that have arisen and give us hope to proceed in the fight against this pandemic in a way in keeping with our faith. The link is a long one, but all you need do is click on it to go directly to the letter. As you read their letter, let us all strive to carry out their hope for us all:

"Let us implore the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that God may bring an end to the pandemic and that all esteem and respect the dignity of human life."

“Fr. Arul has been our ‘constant’ with the transition from pastor to pastor.  He's really stepped up during this time and he is willing to do whatever is asked of him with a smile. He focuses on anything that will serve our parishioners better, especially during the pandemic. He had some great ideas that we implemented to celebrate Christmas Mass safely. He never grows weary of celebrating Mass, hearing confessions, or visiting the sick. He is full of joy with every task.  Even with his mask on, you can see his smile through his eyes!  He is truly here to serve and we're so blessed to have him! “~St. Joseph parishioner
