Please Join Us For The Upcoming Events!!!
Good News!!! Starting this weekend...May 23 & 24, 2020 we will begin to have the celebration of the Mass at both Churches. On Saturday May 23rd at 4pm at St. Hedwig in English. On Sunday at 10am at St. Francis in English then at 12pm at St. Hedwig in Spanish. You must wear a mask when entering the church. We must also keep our distance from one another while in the church so be mindful of where you are with respect to where others are seated. It may be appropriate to bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer for your own use. This is going to be new to everybody. I know we'll all be patient with one another. You will be instructed in church how movement will take place at communion time and during other parts of the liturgy.

Just to touch base with parishioners, alumni and friends of St. Francis D'Assisi-St. Hedwig Parish. Life at the parish is very quiet. We miss seeing each and everyone of you at all the liturgical services normally celebrated here during the week, at the fish fry and at other events that take place here. Hopefully we will be able to come together again during Holy Week!!! Till then rest assured each of you are kept in our prayers and ask that you keep us in yours. If news comes up we will post here, on our parish facebook and our parish bulletin which can be accessed online at https://www.parishesonline.com/find/st-francis-dassisi-st-hedwig-parish (You have to use a browser other than Microsoft Edge to view it)
. Some bulletins are being mailed out to those who do not have access to the internet. God's blessing on each and every one of you and...….BE SAFE AND WELL!!!

With our governor issuing the stay at home order we felt that is was in the best interest of everyone to postpone our April 20 trip to firekeepers. To be almost completely assured that all will be well our new date for our trip to Firekeepers is September 21. 2020. Sadly, our Angel Wing making, Good Friday Fish Fry and Bake Sale will not take place either. So keep those baked goods that you've already made in the freezer for a later date that we'll come up with. During this trying time keep us in your prayers as we keep you in ours!
To clarify the closure of Holy Week includes Easter Sunday itself. There will not be any Holy Week services from Monday thru Easter Sunday. Let us pray ever so fervently for an end to this virus so we can at least come together as a community/family at least by the second Sunday of Easter. Divine Mercy Sunday.
A Request
During the COVID-19 pandemic and the temporary suspension of public Masses in the Archdiocese of Detroit, St. Francis D'Assisi-St. Hedwig Parish still needs your support. Just like at home bills have to be paid. So to at your second home, St. Francis D'Assisi-St. Hedwig Parish. Although we are not celebrating Mass as a parish community, we still have a need to pay our staff, maintain the church buildings, pay our utility bills and continue our outreach. We ask that, to the best of your ability, you continue to make your weekly offertory donations, by mailing them to the parish at, St. Francis D'Assisi-St. Hedwig Parish 3245 Junction Detroit, Michigan 48210.
One good thing that comes out of many staying home during this time is that one can begin spring cleaning. When you are deciding whether or not to keep a certain item remember that we WILL be having a garage sale to help raise funds to help supply the parish festival. So, any items you may not want anymore and they are clean and in good condition put them in a separate spot and save them to bring to the parish once the “All Clear” signal is given and we can begin to celebrate the liturgies in our churches again. That’s when you’ll have a choice to bring it in during regular business hours to the parish office or drop it off at one of the weekend Masses.

Your help to spread the word is requested again!!!
Starting today March 14, 2020 all activities in the Archdiocese have been suspended till Monday April 6, 2020. This means there will not be any Masses celebrated at St. Francis-St. Hedwig during the week or weekends during that time period. It also means that there won't be anymore fish fry's on Fridays and there won't be a breakfast with the Easter bunny that normally takes place on Palm Sunday. As of today though there WILL BE a fish fry and bake sale on Good Friday. If you can help us out and spread the word about this it would be greatly appreciated.
If you can see your way clear if you could come up with something to donate for the bake sale that day it would be wonderful. Just drop it off during the week at the parish office or at the bake sale on Good Friday. It's already planned how to get the angel wings made for the season. So we're hoping others can bake something for us at home.
To all those that have been faithful to the parish and the fish fry....especially our last one we would like to express our deep love and appreciation to each and every one of you. Both patrons and those who volunteer at the fish fry. God has truly blest this parish with your support!!!!
If any other information or developments come up we will post them asap
