Today we celebrate the 221st birthday of St. Vincent Pallotti.
The life of St. Vincent Pallotti gives us much to celebrate. With his emphasis on the infinite love of God, St. Vincent Pallotti understood the important role of collaboration among clergy, religious, and laity. He urged all to become apostles of Jesus Christ, what some in the Church call today “missionary disciples.”
St. Vincent Pallotti, pray for us and help us to revive faith, rekindle charity and form apostles!
Unleash the Gospel – The New Evangelization is unfolding and breathing new life into the Church in Detroit.Unleash the Gospel is a major push to change the DNA of the Church in Detroit to one of a Body of Christ on mission. What we are attempting is nothing less than a radical overhaul of the Church in Detroit, a complete reversal of our focus from inward, or maintenance-focused, to outward, or mission-focused.
We seek to bring about this change first in our hearts, through an encounter with Christ. Then in our homes as we grow in our faith. And finally in our culture as we become a witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Why Now?
There is a need to elevate the presence and importance of Christ in individuals, families, parishes, schools, and Catholic institutions to receive the good news, to live it, and to share it with our friends, our families, in our workplaces and beyond.
The natural state of the Church is one of growth. We are living in a time of unnatural deterioration of the Church. The decline in sacramental participation and vocations as well as the closing of parishes are unnatural aberrations rooted in an erosion of evangelization. We need to undo some of what we’ve become as a people of Christ – passive in prioritizing and living our faith, sad about the perceived decline of the importance of Jesus and Church institutions, and accustomed to a malaise rooted in believing there is little that can be done.
Just as we are seeing revitalization in our city, we seek to bring about rebirth of the Church in Detroit.

The following communication is to explain the events which have taken place to date with the status on the repairs to the roof and ceiling at St. Patrick Catholic Church.
The Archdiocese has recommended that we work with the SME Engineering Building Specialists in the evaluation and determining the scope of the intended project. SME is an experienced firm that has handled similar projects including several Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese of Detroit.
The past several weeks have included determining the scope of the project and recommended action that is needed.
This evaluation has determined the following:
SME has presented the following plan of action.
Regarding the ceiling repair, SME have given us two options:
In light of the dirty & dusty process using the conventional plaster process, which would require the complete removal of all the pews and the loss of all the paintings and frescoes, the recommendation from the committee is to repair the plaster from the attic using the acrylic spray process. This process is supposed to bind the current plaster to the wood foundation and would save the paintings and frescoes.
We will be visiting a church which has used this process to determine the feasibility of its use on our project.
As we progress in this large undertaking, we will keep you informed of any developments.
Finance Committee Chairman.
Lee Williams.
