September 29, 2019 Solemnity of the Anniversary of the Mission Statement Dedication of St. Colette Church We, the Family of St. Colette, under the guidance of the Holy About Today’s Observance Spirit are dedicated to On September 29, 1984 Archbishop Edmund C. Szoka, then archbishop celebrating the Good of Detroit, presided at the Rite of Dedication for the newly constructed St. Colette News of Jesus Christ Catholic Church. The dedication of the church allowed the building to be used as a place for Catholic worship with all the rights and privileges granted by Canon through Worship, Law. Perhaps some of you may remember the day and the celebration of the Education, Fellowship Dedication Mass. and service to others. Each year Catholics are called to honor and celebrate the “birthday” of their parish church on the day it was officially dedicated. This observance is so important the Church ranks its celebration fourth after the observances of Lent/ Mass Schedule Easter, Advent/Christmas and major feasts of the Lord and Blessed Virgin Mary. However, on this anniversary we celebrate not a building but a loving God who provides a home for us on earth and in heaven. According to St. Paul, Weekend Masses we are God’s building. We are living stones that are built up into God’s house Saturday 4:00pm (Ephesians 2: 20 – 22). This is experienced by the sacramental life celebrated Sunday 8:00am, 10:00am, & 12:00pm within our church building. Think of all the baptisms, Masses, Confirmations, confessions, marriages, funerals, Anointing of the Sick and the countless number Weekday Masses of communal and private prayers that have been offered! It is within our church Tuesday, Wednesday, & that we experience a loving God who challenges us by Word and Sacrament to Friday 9:00am share his presence in the service we offer our fellow sisters and brothers.
