Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
-
Easter Sunday Mass @ 10:30 a.m.
Last year seems like ages ago. But let us recall that one year ago, we were not allowed to gather as a parish family to celebrate the greatest feast of our Catholic faith: Easter. We were in pandemic lock down. To those of us who are priests, not being able to celebrate Holy Week and Easter was surreal. How could we have Easter without a congregation? Because of the lockdown, and there was nothing to celebrate at St. Catherine, I went to be with my mother and celebrated Easter Mass with her in her home. Our customary Easter gathering with family did not take place. Instead my mother prepared “take out” for the family to pick up from a table in her garage. It was just Mom and I at the Easter table. This year will be different.
I am very much looking forward to being able to celebrate Easter with you again this year. Easter is the most holy and glorious of the feasts on the Church calendar. Easter cries out to be celebrated and to rejoice over. This Easter is an opportunity for us not to take for granted our need to gather as a community of believers in the Resurrection, to hear God’s Word and to partake of the flesh of the victorious Lamb of God who was slain. Easter is such a glorious event that the Church prolongs it for a period of 50 days, concluding with the Feast of Pentecost. Last year on Pentecost we were able to begin to start returning to church for Mass, this year on Pentecost Sunday Bishop Boyea will open up all of our churches with 100% capacity. May this Easter remind us that no matter what might have happened in this life, that because of the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead, we will be able to share in his risen glory in heaven.
HAPPY EASTER!

Memorare to St. Joseph
Remember, O most pure spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, my great protector, Saint Joseph, that no one ever had recourse to your protection, or implored your aid without obtaining relief. Confiding therefore in your goodness, I come before you. Do not turn down my petitions, foster father of the Redeemer, but graciously receive them. Amen.

2021 DIOCESAN SERVICES APPEAL
ANNOUNCEMENT WEEKEND
“The work of God is at work in you who believe.” This scripture text from the first letter of Paul to the Thessalonians affirms a fundamental truth and teaching of the Catholic Church - the word of God is alive here and now, it is active in you and in the work of all who believe. Thanks be to God for His Holy Word! DSA is an opportunity to put God’s word into action, to participate personally in the many good works of our Church in communion with fellow Catholics. Our contributions are put to work, right away, in a multitude of ministries to offer direct assistance to individuals and families and to parishes, Catholic schools, and Catholic Charities agencies. Next weekend our parish will conduct Commitment Weekend for our Diocesan Services Appeal. This is when we will be asking each member of St. Catherine Laboure Parish to consider a generous gift to DSA. Our parish goal of $20,181 can be reached if each one of us shares a portion of the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. Please prayerfully consider how you or your family will respond to this call to carry on Christ’s work in our community.

Outdoor Stations of the Cross to be Erected
St. Catherine will be erecting outdoor Stations of the Cross on the south side of the church in the area behind the shrine of the Holy Family. The Knight’s of Columbus have agreed to take on this project with labor and financial support. The Stations of the Cross have been ordered from Monastery Icons. Each Station will have a cypress shrine with an icon. The 14 Stations of the Cross are made from a polywood material and will mount on posts in the ground. The other part of the project is the removal of the 6 blue spruce trees. The trees are diseased and in need of being replaced. The trees will be taken down and replaced with new ones, most likely some type of evergreen. The trees will form the background for the new Stations of the Cross. This new devotional shrine will enhance our property and make it a place where people can come to pray outdoors and meditate on the Passion of our Lord.

Faith FormationMarch 7, 2020
Dear Parents,
Congratulations on completing the Family of Faith book with your children! The last packet you received contained the last pages from the workbook.
The goals all year have remained the same:- Prayer - create habits of family prayer time with your children
- Mass - work towards being prepared and more attentive during Mass
- Learning our Cathic Faith - learning the Catholic faith and how to apply these truths of our faith in our daily lives.
Attached are April’s Magnfikids along with a few activity pages for each of them to learn more about the Tridium and the Easter season. These are not required to be returned to me. I encourage you to continue to pray each day with your child, continue to prepare together each week for Sunday Mass; and continue to learn new things together as a family about your Catholic faith. (Formed is a great resource)
2nd grade class - continues until First Holy Communion
Thank you parents for your willingness to try this new program of parent led faith formation this year. We will continue to have the MagnifiKids available monthly.
PreK-Kindergarten - I have attached March and April packets
Look for information this summer for our plans for next fall. We hope to bring back more face to face classes. Any suggestions or feedback are welcomed and appreciated.Leslie Reagle

Worship Space Cupola Renovation/Replacement Project
Our Worship space looks brand new and the Cupola is both functional and beautiful. We are pleased to provide a final report on the Church Cupola replacement and the interior repairs to the Worship Space completed just before Christmas 2020. The majority of the project was funded through your generous contributions to the Witness to Hope Campaign, along with some insurance coverage paying for the repair of water damage to drywall and painting of the interior space. After the construction work was completed, the interior surfaces were cleaned, LED bulbs replaced, and the tile floor cleaned and sealed. The project on all accounts is a great success, being delivered within the planned time frame and within the allotted budget.
The cost of the total project was $34,940 dollars broken down as follows:
Architect Fees: $ 3,300.00
Demolition, Reconstruction, Skylight, Roofing and Lighting protection: $31,140.00
Total Witness To Hope Funding: $34,440.00
Painting and interior drywall repair (Insurance Deductible): $ 500.00
Total Building Renovation and Repair: $34,940.00
We thank Fr. Tim Krzyzaniak and Jim Legault for the many hours of work in planning and follow-up thru this project planning and execution. Additionally, we are grateful for the assistance received from Alan Olson, Director of Properties, Diocese of Lansing. We recognize the contributions made and the cooperation received from the construction project team of David Swanson of Swanson Design Services, General Contractor O’Harrow Construction Company, and Jarvis Property Restoration. We extend our congratulations on a beautifully executed project that will continue to serve our faith community for many years.Deacon Tom Arehart

SUNDAY MASS DISPENSATION EXTENDED
The dispensation to attend holy Mass on Sunday has been extended to Pentecost Sunday May 23rd. The dispensation was to end on Tuesday February 16th. Bishop Boyea hopes to open up worship fully with no limitations on Pentecost. By then more people would have received the Covid 19 vaccine and the possibility of the spread of the virus should be greatly reduced. Even when our churches will fully open Bishop Boyea encourages the wearing of a face mask when coming to Mass. He also reminds us that if anyone does not feel safe enough to attend Mass, or if they are ill they are not obligated to attend. Let us pray for an end to the evil pandemic that has engulfed the world and taken so many lives and caused world wide economic chaos.
Fr. Tim
