Thoughts from Monsignor McClory Dear Parish Family: Our Next Associate Pastor: Transitional Deacon John McKenzie Archbishop Vigneron has announced the appointment of Deacon John McKenzie as our next associate pastor at Shrine. Deacon McKenzie is scheduled to be ordained a priest on June 9 and will begin his service here on July 1. We look forward to thanking Fr.

He loves Jesus and His Church and will help us all grow closer to Christ. As his arrival date draws near, he will share more about himself, but let me give you some background now. He is a native of Detroit and attended Our Lady of Grace School in Dearborn Heights. At age 11 he was baptized into the Catholic Faith. For a time, he was affiliated with a newly founded Benedictine Community of Norcia, Italy and also lived at the ancient Abbey of Montecassino, Italy.

  • Frequently Asked Questions About the Catholicity of Alpha
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CATHOLICITY OF ALPHA The following article addresses frequently asked questions about the Catholicity of the Alpha course. Among these, some have asked, “Why is the Diocese of Green Bay using the Alpha course when Alpha did not originate in the Catholic Church?” In this document are four questions and answers to be aware of on how the Alpha course can support our discipleship efforts in the Catholic Church. Recall that the four step discipleship process in the Diocese of Green Bay is as follows: 1. Discover Jesus. 2 Follow Jesus. 3. Worship Jesus. Share Jesus. These questions are detailed below. Page 1: Did Alpha originate in the Catholic Church? Page 2: If the Catholic Church teaches that the Church of Christ exists fully only in the Catholic Church (Dominus Iesus, no. 14), then why is the Diocese of Green Bay using a non-Catholic resource? Page 3: Why is there an “Alpha in a Catholic Context”? What gaps does the “Catholic context” part of Alpha address? Page 4: Are members of the Catholic hierarchy and other key Catholic leaders endorsing Alpha? 1. Did Alpha originate in the Catholic Church? Alpha was founded in 1977 by Reverend Charles Marnham at Holy Trinity Brompton, an Anglican parish in London. However, Nicky Gumbel, an Anglican priest, oversaw the development and expansion of the Alpha course starting from the 1980’s to the present day. However, it sometimes takes an “outsider” to show us “insiders” how wise the Catholic Church is in her teachings. Incidentally, what Nicky Gumbel effectively integrated into the Alpha course are several discipleship principles and practices as taught by the Catholic Church.

  • What Is a Synod?
    WHAT IS A SYNOD? The word “synod” (pronounced /śɪnəd/) comes from the Greek word synodos, meaning “an assembly,” an ecclesiastical gathering under the hierarchical authority of a bishop in a diocese. The assembly can include clergy, religious sisters and brothers, and lay persons. Synods are called to discuss and recommend decisions on matters of faith, morals, discipline or governance. Synod members advise the bishop. Synods are rare and exceptionally historic events. Only 10 synods been called in Detroit since the Church here was founded in 1701, all of them after the Diocese of Detroit was established in 1833 by Pope Gregory XVI. (At that time the diocese included all of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and portions of the Dakotas east of the Mississippi River!) Each Detroit synod was called to address particular issues of immediate concern to the local church. The issues typically included diocesan and parish structure and governance, and the implementation of the teachings of various provincial, national or global councils. Bishop LeFevre convened two synods in Detroit (1859 & 1862) to address regulation of clergy and to implement council decrees. Bishop Borgess convened five synods between 1873 and 1886, covering establishing parish schools, supporting charitable organizations, and constructing a new cathedral. Cardinal Mooney convened two synods (1944 & 1954), covering the liturgy and the teaching office of the Church. Cardinal Dearden called one synod in April 1966, shortly after the close of the Second Vatican Council. This synod, completed in May 1969 and referred to as “Synod 69,” was convened to implement certain aspects of Vatican II, in particular the “Universal Call to Holiness” in the Dogmatic Constitution of the Church (Lumen Gentium).

  • 1. What Is ACTS XXIX – Mobilizing for Mission and Why Is There a Need for It? the Archdiocese of Detroit Held a Synod on the New Evangelization in 2016
    1. What is ACTS XXIX – Mobilizing for Mission and why is there a need for it? The Archdiocese of Detroit held a Synod on the new Evangelization in 2016. “That Synod was the ignition spark that is to set the Archdiocese ablaze. Its goal was nothing less than a radical overhaul of the Church in Detroit, a complete reversal of our focus from an inward, maintenance-focused church, to an outward, mission- focused church” (Unleash the Gospel [UTG*] Introduction). The crucial question is how does this beautiful, Spirit-driven vision become a concrete reality? Many pastors and parishes (and dioceses) are eagerly seeking a compass and map to respond to the challenges of the 21st century situation facing the Church. “A radical overhaul” will require constant vigilance and courage so as to not return to our default ways of doing things in the Church, (i.e., maintenance mode). ACTS XXIX – Mobilizing for Mission is a piece of the “radical overhaul” Synod 16 called for. We are an emerging movement focused on answering the need. We exist to transform Catholic culture and reclaim the Church’s missional identity. Our goal is to transform people, parishes, and society by equipping clergy and pastoral teams to unapologetically and uncompromisingly proclaim the Gospel in the 21st century. 2. What does ACTS XXIX – Mobilizing for Mission offer? Embracing a mission-oriented renewal, ACTS XXIX is organized in five major disciplines: • Priestly Renewal (cf. UTG Marker 5.2); • Parish Renewal (cf. UTG Introduction and Action Step 2.3); • Vision and Leadership Development (cf. UTG Action Step 2.3); • Evangelization and Discipleship Roadmap Development (cf.
