GRADUATION MASS 2015
On Sunday, May 31, at the 10am Mass we celebrated our Graduates. They are:
Nathan Williams (Kennedy High), Anna Randt (Cabrini High), Emily Lovasz (Allen Park
High), Jessica Liebeskind (Kennedy High), Jacob Szczepanski (Kennedy High), Marco
Marchelletta (Edsel Ford High) with Fr. Michael.
As they step forward into the world that awaits, comfort their fears with the full knowledge
of your presence. Strengthen their resolve to walk in the footsteps of Jesus as modern day
disciples in a world that needs their spirit. Guide their feet as they move through life, protecting them from the pitfalls of darkness while they help to lead future generations into
the warmth and promise of your light.
We ask this blessing upon each of them, Amen.

A few words from Fr. Dariusz
Before I share my thoughts about th readings for this Sunday, I would like to take this opportunity to thank
volunteers from Home Depot for coming over to our Parish and giving your time and talents to make another
garden on our grounds. I would also like to thank the Garden Committee. In a special way I would like to
thank John and Stella Mosella, Colette Brachel, Alberta Hromco and Pat Ackerman for drawing plans
and supervising the project. The new garden looks very good. The garden will be blessed this fall and dedicated
to unborn children. Thank you again for your hard work.
I would like to thank Joe Boncher and James Kerrigan for taking their time to train our new Altar Servers. The investiture took place last
Sunday. I would like to congratulate new Altar Servers for their commitment to serve God and Our Lady of the Angels Parish. As a
community we greatly appreciate your commitment to make our Masses special. May God bless you for that.
It looks like there is a need for gluten free hosts in our Church. Please keep in mind that those hosts are not gluten free (the Church
does not allow them). They are low gluten hosts. Because of the price we pay for them, please use them only if you must receive a low
gluten host. I would not want this to become some new trend in our Church. Those hosts are only for those who can not receive regular
hosts. If you can not receive regular hosts, please talk to the priest before the Mass so he can move the ciborium with low gluten hosts to
the altar at the Communion time.
In today’s Gospel, Mark gives us a collection of parables, most of which deal with the growth of seed. They serve as a commentary on
what has been happening in Jesus’ proclamation of the kingdom.
The prophet Ezekiel foretold that God would take a twig from the top of the cedar and plant it in Zion. Under God’s protective power
that twig would grow into a great cedar. Ezekiel dreamed that God would transplant the exiled people of Israel back to the land of their
fathers. He glimpsed a future son of David whose kingdom would be universal.
The promise is fulfilled in Jesus who ushers in the kingdom of God. The parables of the seed that grows by itself and the mustard seed
were meant to encourage the early Church which was worried about the slow growth of the kingdom. They were telling the disciples to
be patient, to trust, and not to expect instant results. Through the power of God, from small and insignificant beginnings the kingdom
will grow into something great. Sometimes life calls for a lot of patience and trust if we want to grow in our spiritual life. We have to
make the effort. At the same time we have to be patient and trust that God’s grace will take over. So let us put our trust in the Lord so
we can flourish like trees that are planted by a running stream.
God bless all of us.
Fr. D

Homebound Eucharistic Ministry
Why is it so Important?
One of the largest and most important
ministries within the Our Lady of the Angels parish is the sharing of Holy Communion with those who are hospitalized
or living in nursing and personal care
homes. Like many parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit, we have many elderly
and infirm members who cannot attend
regular Sunday Mass.
Many who are unable to attend Mass have
been active, lifelong members of the parish and miss participating in the liturgy
and Holy Eucharist. Would you be willing to share your time and carry the Holy
Eucharist to one or a couple of these individuals at their residence or a personal
care facility?
Are you interested in becoming a Homebound Eucharistic Minister?
Homebound Eucharistic Ministers are
trained persons who are matched to persons in their immediate locale. This is a
most important and very spiritually rewarding ministry.
To volunteer and take the Eucharist to
individual’s homes and care facilities on a
scheduled basis please contact Marie
Gdowski at 313-381-3000 ext. 110.

Quote of the Week: “ And you’re the only one I ever believed in. The answer that
could never be found. The moment you decide to let love in. And now I’m banging on
the door of an angel. The end of fear is where we begin. The moment we decided to let
love in. - - Goo Goo Dolls
Get out of your way: Love is hard, love is difficult, love is complicated, it can be impatient, boastful and braggadocios. It can hurt, it can make you cry. This of course goes
completely counter intuitive to what we read in the Bible, I Corinthians 13:4-8. But
there are hours, days, weeks when it seems love is simply a word in the English language used to describe a feeling we can’t quite put our fingers on. But in truth, in truth
love is a multi layered meaning with subheadings, pie charts, bar graphs and an occasional perfect day thrown in to completely blow the curve. It is essentially what makes
the world go around. Which is the exact reason why we all struggle so much with trying
to crack the code or understand the complexities of something that can be in a word,
exhausting.
But if we all took the time to stop and have an out of body experience. One that
places us on the direct receiving end of ourselves, we would come to realize that love is
only made more complex by who we are. Meaning love isn’t easy because we all want
what we want when we want it. We have demands, we have requirements, we have the
inside out of what makes us tick. And when that gets in the way, love cannot and will
not be able to do anything except stand there and wait for you to stop being
so...unloving. In a word selfish, in another word tied down and distracted by the many
things of this world that have absolutely nothing to do with giving or receiving love.
Okay that was more than one word. But when love is allowed to do what it is supposed
to do it is patient, it is kind, it is not jealous, is not pompous, it is not inflated, rude or
seek its own interests. It is not quick tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not
rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all
things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER FAILS. So move over, get out of the way and
let love...in.
An open Invitation: Are you awesome? Have you always been awesome? Do you
wish you could meet other awesome people just like you? Well look no further then Our
Lady of the Angels Youth Group. We are the keepers of awesomeness. But we need
you to stop by and add to this amazing phenomenon. So if you are between the ages of
10 to 18 and looking for great friends, good people, lots of fun and amazing events then
stop by the Youth Loft Sunday nights from 6:30 to 8pm. And begin your awesome journey into fulfilling your faith. See you there!
If You have any questions please feel free to contact Youth Leaders:
Tom Kupovits, (313-229-1197) or Monica Alabastro (734-306-1086)
Please pray for the Youth of our parish

The past few weeks have been a busy place for our pantry, in fact, we had 18 visits in
one day. Consequently our supplies were down but fortunately we were able to fill all
the food requests received and help many families enjoy a hearty dinner or two. We
were able to fill the requests because of the donations and the help we received. The
donations came from our parishioners and other agencies in the area. And better yet,
was the amount of help we received on a particular day from some of our volunteers
who always seem to know when help is needed. As an example, there were a lot of pick
-ups and deliveries to be made that required vehicles and people to keep up with the
demand. Because people were available to lend a hand, it turned out to be a wonderful
day. A day that required people going out to several places to pick-up supplies and
coming back to the pantry to stock the shelves. We are very grateful to all the volunteers in our parish who show up to offer help. Please know that we are very grateful for
your support and sincerely thank all of you for your charity and concern for the hungry.

coming into the Church to light a candle and say a prayer. Fifty people went to confession as well. As the Popes since Vatican II have expressed, we are literally opening the
doors of the Church and letting in a breath of fresh air. We are looking for volunteers—
street evangelizers, greeters, intercessors, and priest confessors. Information can be
found at https://nightfeverdetroit2015.evntbrite.com/ with volunteer job descriptions.

use your support and participation with this worthy event.
Our Golf Package provides each golfer 18 holes w/cart, door prizes and meals for only

NURSE MINISTRY NOTES
Next weekend will be a busy one at
our parish. Festival time is here and
much needs to be done. If you have not
yet volunteered to help there is still time.
Our community has always come together
for successful events. If you can give
several hours or just one hour, please
help. You can have fun and meet those
people you often see at Mass but never
have gotten to know well.
Over the past two decades, there has
been a growing body of research that volunteering provides individual health benefits in addition to social benefits. According to the website, pointsoflife.org, those
who volunteer have lower mortality rates,
greater functional ability, and lower rates
of depression. Volunteer activities can
strengthen the social ties that protect individuals from isolation during difficult
times, while the experience of helping
others leads to a sense of greater selfworth and trust. So, we hope to see as
many of you as we can during this week
for set-up, during the festival’s many options for helping out and early next week
for tear-down. This is our parish.
Parish Nurse Ministry members are
planning the Red Cross Blood Drive
scheduled for Sunday, July 12th from
8am-2pm at the Parish Center. We will
be in the narthex after all Masses the
weekend of June 27-28 to schedule donors. Please consider donating this gift of
life.
The next meeting of OLOA Parish
Nurse Ministry will be held Sunday, June
28, 2015 at 1:15pm in the St. Elizabeth
Room. Please note the time change for
this meeting only.
The Christian Service Organization is
constantly looking for people
who would love to be involved with the
hospitality of OLOA
Outreach Services!
If you feel this could be you please call
Marie Gdowski at 313-381-3000 or email
me at marieg@loacc.org
P.S. The C.S.O. meeting been rescheduled for Sunday, June 14th at
11am in St. Anne’s Room.
God Bless,

RIGHT TO LIFE - LIFESPAN
The Message is Clear!
DID YOU KNOW? For the sixth time in
a row, the Supreme Court took steps to
protect another religious objector from the
HHS CONTRACEPTION MANDATE.
It ordered a lower court to reconsider its
ruling that required a group of Catholic
ministries in Michigan to violate their
religious beliefs. The Michigan Catholic
Conference and other Catholic ministries
brought their request to the Supreme
Court after a lower court decision would
have allowed large IRS fines against the
ministries because they, based on their
religious beliefs, cannot provide contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs in
their employee health. For more information, call LIFESPAN at 734-422-6230.

The bricks we ordered several weeks ago
were installed in our beautiful Prayer
Garden last week. The garden has started
to bloom and as we walk through it, we
can admire all the different aspects that
make it such an attractive part of our
Church grounds. A commemorative brick
can have a very special meaning. It is a
way of remembering someone who has
passed away or can serve as a special
keepsake to honor family members and
friends. We suggest that you take a moment to stroll through the garden and look
at the many bricks honoring loved ones
and the plants and flowers that make the
garden a quiet place to spend a few moments enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
The garden is a memento befitting our
parish that signifies the love and unity
that draws us closer together as God’s
family. Bricks can be purchased by either
filling out the form in the Parish Office or
on the Parish website. The cost is $110
with 3 lines of inscription. Each line can
accommodate 14 characters including the
spaces. Symbols can also be inscribed on
the bricks at a cost of $5.00 for each one.
The form with the symbols is available in
the parish office. Please consider buying
a brick to honor those who are important
to you.
Groups will be divided by age
Young groups - Will be working on awesome art projects, along with learning about
life skills and having more fun with other projects and video’s.
Middle School - Will be working on awesome art projects, along with learning about
alcohol by using a comic book collection as a learning tool.
Teens - The older teens will be looking at court cases and how drugs and alcohol affects
not just the individual but others as well. We will also be having fun!
Parents and caregivers - The time provided for parents and caregivers allows for learning new tools and skills for yourself and the youth in your lives. It will be a good time
for discussion and opportunities to know you are not alone.

Dear Lord Jesus and Mary Mother of
God, hold all these brave souls in the
palm of your hand; comfort them and
their families. Send angels of protection,
love and comfort to all the service men
and women still at war. Bring them home
safely and comfort to all the service men
and women still at war. Bring them home
safely and comfort their families. We ask
this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
