SAINTS TO BE KNOWN

In the picture above, the banners hanging from our choir loft are six African Americans whose causes for sainthood have been initiated - Pierre Toussaint, Mother Mary Elizabeth Lange, Julia Greeley, Sr. Thea Bowman, FSPA, Henriette Delille, and Fr. Augustus Tolton.  Father John describes them as “Saints To Be Known,” since, being in heaven, they already are Saints, but now we will have an opportunity to get to know them and the exemplary holy lives they led.  As we do so, let’s pray for their causes, and for the grace to be inspired by them.  For more information on these six holy women and men, click on the SAINTS TO BE KNOWN button below.

CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL (CSA)

“Rise and be not afraid” (Mt 17:7).  This is the theme of this year’s Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) for the Archdiocese of Detroit.  Many programs and services made possible by the CSA directly or indirectly benefit our parish, our parishioners, and our communities.  In this time of great challenge, the Church stands ready to provide healing, comfort, and assistance with basic needs.


Recognizing the additional challenges faced by so many this year, the Archdiocese reduced parish CSA targets by 15%.  Our target is $6,736.  Remember – any amounts received above the target are returned to the parish, and our tradition is to split anything returned 50/50 with our St. Vincent de Paul ministry, directly benefitting those most in need in our communities.


Many of you have received CSA mailings directly from the Archdiocese.  If you have already responded, thank you.  For those who have not responded, or who have not received a mailing, please prayerfully consider making a pledge to the CSA.


For more information about CSA, or to make a pledge, click on the CSA button below.

FAMILIES OF PARISHES

On Pentecost Sunday, May 31, Archbishop Vigneron announced upcoming changes to how parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit will be organized and operate In the future, with every parish becoming part of a “Family of Parishes.”  On December 9, the Archbishop announced the family groupings of parishes and the 2-year implementation schedule.  Effective July, 2022, St. Peter Claver will be in a family with Christ the King, Gesu, SS. Peter & Paul (Jesuit), St. Charles Lwanga, St. Moses the Black, and St. Suzanne/Our Lady Gate of Heaven.  For more information, click on the FAMILIES OF PARISHES button below.

ABOUT US

MISSION STATEMENT

We are a parish within the Archdiocese of Detroit.  Having reflected on the "four faces of our parish," St. Peter Claver Catholic Community, chosen by the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, and under the guidance of Mary, resolves that: 1) we will provide more opportunities for deepening prayer life and faith life for youth, young adults, and adults; 2) we will initiate efforts to reach out and re-connect with those individuals and families who have disconnected from the Church; 3) we will collaborate with other faith communities and organizations within our parish to offer ecumenical events/activities (e.g., neighborhood clean-ups, prayer meetings, health fairs); and, 4) we will utilize resources within our parish community to advocate for education and to promote social justice issues.

MASS TIMES

St. Peter Claver celebrates Eucharist in the Sacred Heart Chapel at Marygrove College (see details on the STAFF/LOCATIONS page) every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and on Holy Days at 6:30 p.m.  Times for other Eucharistic celebrations, as well as times and locations for meetings and other events, are included on the PARISH CALENDAR page. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered on Sunday at 9:30 a.m.


Until further notice, everyone attending Eucharist or any other parish event must wear a face mask.  We also encourage bringing hand sanitizer, although we do have hand sanitizer stations.  Instructions are provided in the church for maintaining safe, social distancing, as well as for receiving Holy Communion.

Recognizing that some people will be unable to immediately rejoin us for public celebration of the Eucharist, we will stream every Mass live from Marygrove College via Zoom video conference.  To join, click on the LIVE MASS button below.
