TRANSCRIPT
Happy Father’s
Day! I know all you
dads really look
forward to this
day! Today you
might get to do
anything you want
- whether it is to watch or play golf all
day, cook or eat your favorite foods,
stain the deck, wash the car, or just
plain take it easy and rest all day!
Maybe you won’t have to wash the
dishes or take out the garbage
today!! And just think, anything you
ask of the kids today they will do
without a whimper or whine!! What a
great day for you!
On this day, may you turn to
St. Joseph and God and thank them
for the blessings you have as a father.
I hope that you also turn to them and
ask them for the continued guidance
and inspiration you need to be strong
and effective in your vocation as a
father. For all fathers we offer this
prayer:
God our Father, we praise you
and bless you, for the life you have
given us through your saving love,
revealed in Jesus your Son. Through
Christ you have revealed yourself as
a loving father who provides for us all.
Look with love upon our father
and bless him with your love. Deepen
his love for his wife and family and
make us one in love with all your holy
people as we proclaim your mighty
deeds and sing your praises.
We offer you praise and glory
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
**This Friday we celebrate the
founding of Our Lady Star of the Sea
Parish 66 years ago. I know there are
a few of you who are “founding”
parishioners and can tell us a few
stories of how the parish was “way
back then.” Certainly there were not
all the houses as there are now!
Fr. Barton had a challenging task to
go house to house and see who was
Catholic and who wanted to be a
part of this new parish. Not an easy
task at all. God bless him and all his
early associates and staff members
who helped create and form this
vibrant parish community. A solid
foundation was laid which has
helped this community ever since.
The parish has weathered a few
storms through its years and Our Lady
has unceasingly guided it into safe
harbor. We do not know what the
future brings but we know we are in
good hands and this community will
continue to flourish…bringing others
to Christ to live the love of God …
and share that love with others.
Thanks to all of you for all that you do
to support the parish and its ministries
and programs. God Bless you!
May your week be full of
blessings and joy.

Servant of God, Nicholas Black Elk Premiers
Sunday, June 21, 2020
A film on Nicholas Black Elk, the Lakota holy man and candidate for
sainthood, that will be airing in Detroit Sunday, June 21 at 1:00 PM on
WXYZ. "Walking the Good Red Road: Nicholas Black Elk's Journey to
Sainthood" was funded by the Catholic Communication Campaign
of the USCCB and is a rare opportunity for
Catholic programming in a mainstream media
outlet. Even more importantly, the film is an
intriguing portrait of a Native Catholic whose
witness speaks to the many injustices and societal
divisions that we face in North America.

Reporting Sexual Misconduct Involving Bishops
The Catholic Bishop Abuse Reporting Service (CBAR) has been
established to receive reports of sexual abuse and related misconduct by bishops,
and to relay those reports to proper Church authorities for investigation. In the
Archdiocese of Detroit, as in all U.S. dioceses, an independent, third-party entity
provides secure, confidential intake services. Individuals may go to
ReportBishopAbuse.org or call (800) 276-1562 to make a report.
Information on reporting sexual abuse and related misconduct by
archdiocesan priests, deacons or other church representatives is available at
protect.aod.org. In all cases, victims of sexual abuse are urged to contact law
enforcement.
Archbishop's Gala
The 2020 Archbishop's Gala will now be a virtual event on Friday,
June 26. As they say, the show must go on and, you only turn 100
once! While none of us thought we’d close our centennial year
virtually – it is the celebration God has given us. Please visit
archbishopsgala.com for more information.
