We turn to St. Joseph to model ways men can be proactively pro-life:
- Support those fleeing domestic violence at Hope Shores Alliance.
- Volunteer with Options Pregnancy Center to support dads and moms facing their concerns about pregnancy together.
- Teach your sons about observing Ephesians 5:28: “In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself." Help our boys grow into men faithful to the example of St. Joseph!
- Read and discuss Patris Corde, and how a chaste protector practices self-giving whether in married or consecrated life.
- Form your conscience to vote with faith according to the Michigan Catholic Conference at micatholic.org/election2026.
Catholic Way Bible Study on Monday's
For 2026-27, our study is “Israel, David & the Kingdoms.” We follow the Chosen People as they enter the Promised Land of Israel. We will meet saints like Joshua, King David, Samuel and Ruth, as well as scoundrels like Jezebel and Manassah. Along the way, we will draw lessons for our own lives from the rich history of Israel as they learn what it means to be God's people.

Friendship Room.
The Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is our annual opportunity to unite as a faith community to support vital ministries and programs that serve our parishes, schools and those most in need.
Our theme, “One Bread, One Body” draws inspiration from Pope Leo’s motto:
“In the One, we are One.” We are reminded that through the Eucharist, we are one Church, both in the Diocese of Gaylord and the entire world. CSA provides essential funding for seminarian education, Catholic schools, diocesan services, charitable outreach and many other programs that bring the light of Christ to our communities. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a profound difference in the lives of those who rely on the Church’s mission.
The goal for All Saints Parish this year is $218,117.00. As you reflect on your blessings, prayerfully consider how you can respond with a spirit of gratitude and generosity. To learn more about CSA or to make your gift online,visit DioceseofGaylord.org/CSA26.
