Because you share our vision to provide the highest quality patient care experience, every day, everywhere, for everyone, we are truly making a difference. Because you share our vision, we are able to provide excellent care for body, mind and spirit. As you read through this annual report, you will come to understand the immense kindness of our community. From the smallest heartfelt gift, to the large gift supporting the latest technology, to attendance at a fundraising event, your generosity continues to inspire us. We are grateful for the continuing loyalty of longtime friends Susan E. Burns and thankful for the new supporters we have gained over the past year…you all make an impact. In 2010, we were delighted to receive another exceptional gift from Gretchen Valade for important technology for our Heart and Vascular Center of Excellence; and the Cracchiolo family provided the lead gift for a new inpatient rehabilitation center where patients receive the best possible care using the most advanced rehabilitation equipment available. In addition, Art Van Elslander’s continued support made the addition of an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit for the Neuroscience Center of Excellence a reality, and contributions from many other donors helped build a new Electrophysiology Lab. Scores of other needs in our hospitals, programs and services were fulfilled through your gifts. Our Legacy Society has also grown, as community members designate planned gifts for the future support of St. John Providence Health System. Our fundraising efforts continue to focus on our many Centers of Excellence and on additional priority needs to offer the most advanced treatment, cutting-edge technology and expert care available. With your continued support and the renewed spirit of collaboration among our hospitals, leadership and boards, we are better Joan S.

  • Eminent Domain and the Public Good: the Poletown Case Revisited
    Eminent Domain and the Public Good: The Poletown Case Revisited John Critchett*, Ph.D., Donald Conrad#, J.D. *Professor of Accounting & Finance, School of Business, Madonna University #Attorney, Donald R. Conrad Law Offices, PLC ______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this paper we briefly trace the history of eminent domain law in the U.S, including the 2005 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London, which allowed property to be condemned for the purpose of building a research facility for the Pfizer Corporation. We review the use of the terms “public use” and “public purpose” in precedent cases, and propose that they can lead to different legal outcomes. We specifically re-examine the 1981 Michigan Supreme Court decision that allowed a 465 acre area in the heart of Detroit known as “Poletown” to be condemned for the purpose of building a General Motors plant which promised thousands of jobs during a time of economic turmoil for Detroit and surrounding communities. Many residents came together to form the Poletown Neighborhood Council (PNC) to oppose the condemnation and destruction of their homes and community, but they did not have adequate bargaining power and resources to prevail against the economic interests of General Motors and the cities of Detroit and Hamtramck. The resulting condemnation of hundreds of homes, businesses, and a fifty year old Catholic church has been cited as a textbook case of social injustice. In 2004, the Michigan Supreme Court reversed its earlier Poletown decision and, in 2016, Michigan voters passed Proposition 4, which placed significant restrictions on future eminent domain actions in Michigan.

  • Parish History
    The Birth of a Community In June of 1977, the Archdiocese of Detroit determined that the fast growing community of Washington Township in northern Macomb County might require an additional Catholic parish. So, a “Mass station” was created by St. Clement Church in Romeo as the sponsor, with the support of its pastor Fr. William Dowell. Fr. Arnie Bastien, the associate pastor at St. Clement, led the faithful at Washington Elementary School in the celebration of the Eucharist each weekend. As the number of people who flocked to the Mass station increased, a more permanent solution was needed. The Mass station was up graded to the status of a “parish-in-formation”. With that new status a pastor was sought for the community. Several priests were interested, and in December of 1978 Cardinal John Dearden appointed Fr. Ronald E. Sayes to help the parish grow into a permanent parish. The territorial area set aside for the parish extended from Romeo Plank on the east to Dequindre on the west; 26 Mile Rd. on the south to 29 Mile Rd. on the north. This continues to be the geographical boundaries for the parish with one change—we now extend officially up to 30 Mile Rd. on the north. The name chosen for the new parish community was “Saints John and Paul,” two brothers from Rome who were martyred around 362 A.D., for refusing the whims of an emperor who had renounced the Christian faith. Among the many names considered, this one struck a Icon of the martyrs chord, because it dovetailed with the John and Paul, names of all the recent popes, including hanging on east wall Pope John Paul II who was elected in of the church September of 1978, just before the community received its new status as a parish-in-formation.

    St. Colette Catholic Church 17600 Newburgh Road Livonia, MI 48152 734-464-4433 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.
