Our Lady of La Salette Parish
August Intention for Use of the Family of Parish
“Family Sent on Mission”
Mission Statement for Our Lady of La Salette Parish
We, the Roman Catholic Family of Our Lady of La Salette, have the living and welcoming presence of Jesus Christ as the center of our life, especially in the Eucharist. Through worship, the proclamation of the Gospel, service, and the work of the New Evangelization, we continue the reconciling ministry of Jesus Christ.
August Intention and Suggestions for the Universal Prayer:
For each of us within our Family of Parishes: that, in our daily lives, we will work together for unity and justice. We pray to the Lord.
For our Family of Parishes: that, empowered by the Holy Spirit we may bring hope and healing to those wounded by fear and division. We pray to the Lord.
That we may grow in compassion and foster reconciliation within the human family through our awareness of the healing wounds of Christ. We pray to the Lord.
For the healing of hearts and relationships: that our commitment to Christ may open paths to reconciliation within families, communities and nations. We pray to the Lord.
Possible Action Steps:
Learn about Mary’s message of healing and reconciliation at La Salette France in 1846. Visit lasalette.org for more information.
Go to confession. Celebrate God’s mercy and forgiveness.
Promote reconciliation within this election year. Read and pray over Forming Conscience for Faithful Citizenship.
Approach both the news media and social media with the mind and heart of Christ. Seek the truth and strive for education, empathy, and critical thinking.

FRANCISCAN OUTREACH PROGRAM
CHURCH OF THE TRANSFIGURATION
The Franciscan Outreach Program is a non-profit food distribution organization operating out of Transfiguration Church that services needy families throughout Southeast Michigan. It is open to the public on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00AM- 11:30AM. Those who receive the food, the (Guests), are screened by volunteers, and each guest receives about 110 pounds of food per visit. Carts and volunteers are available to assist guests with the food and loading their cars.
In 2022, the Outreach Program assisted an average of 460 families per month. In the first quarter of 2023 that number has grown to over 560 families per month. The food handling, both incoming and outgoing, is a complete manual operation, so volunteers are the key to the program’s success.
With this huge undertaking to give a helping hand to those in need, we are always looking for volunteers to help service our guests during the distribution days. If you have a morning that you could volunteer some time to help service our guests, I would love to meet with you. I can be reached by phone during business hours at 248-356-6350.
Please help support this Outreach Program by living your faith. In the end, it will not matter what you get, but what you gave.
