Grief is something we cannot avoid. We must go through it at some time in our lives. Holy Family Parish in Saginaw is offering a 6-week Grief Support Series beginning Wednesday, May 8 at 10:00am, in the lower level of the church. If interested, please contact Beth Bauer at bbauer@diosag.org or 989-797-6655, or Peter Prokop at rpprokop@gmail.com.

In cooperation with the Midland County Emergency Food Pantry Network, the Food Truck at Assumption has been scheduled for July 17. It will take many hands to unload the many pallets of food, load grocery carts at the various food stations, and unload the grocery carts into the cars of those in need. Please sign-up in the gathering space. 

We have reached our financial goal to sponsor this July’s Food Truck. Thank you so much for your generous support! 

However, we need 70 volunteers for the day. Please take time to consider signing up to help out with this very important ministry to those in need of food for their table. Families are welcome. A great gift that you can pass on to your kids is the gift of volunteering. If you have questions or would like to sign up, please contact the parish office. You can also sign up in the gathering space. 

Let’s make this a day that truly lives out the Gospel Message

“For when I was hungry you gave me to eat.”

Matthew 25

The Midland-based Guatemalan Stove Team, with the support of our parishes, has served over 1000 Mayan families and several schools since forming in 2012. The water filters and stoves that we provide are truly life changing. The vented stoves replace a smoky fire pit on the floor of the homes, and run with 70% less wood, saving the family two hours of work a day or, if the wood is purchased, about 40% of their income. The water filters eliminate the risk of waterborne illnesses such as dysentery, a leading cause of death, especially in young children. 

Our stove team is planning to travel in February 2024 to help at least 154 more families and a school. Please consider serving as a volunteer on a future team, praying for these efforts, or donating to maintain this work. Our goal is to raise $300 for each family that we serve. 

If you are interested in volunteering on a future team, send information requests to: Stephanie.Williams511@gmail.com or Kevin Shaughnessy at kmshaug6@gmail.com. 

Visit the Midland Area Community Foundation to contribute to this effort. Alternatively, you can send a check made out to Midland Area Community Foundation  with the memo Midland-Based HELPS Fund to:

Hidden Harvest is a non-profit organization that collects food from organizations, churches, and individuals and then distributes it to various food pantries, organizations, and soup kitchens that reach out to those in need.

You are invited to participate in this worthwhile project of providing food for people in need.  During the summer, bring in vegetables and/or fruit from your garden on Tuesday or Thursday morning before 9:30am. Please do not leave it outside the night before. 

Produce can be dropped off by the office door.  Thank you for your support. 

For more information visit Hidden Harvest.

Masses are livestreamed each week for those who are unable to join the Assumption faith community in person. This technology also provides us the ability to livestream other events that occur throughout the church year.

There is a need for Media Outreach Ministers.  This invitation is open to anyone from middle school to adult. No previous knowledge and skills are required; training will be provided.

If you are interested in this ministry or have any questions, please contact Max Schneider by stopping by the Media Outreach Ministry room (the former cry room) any Sunday before or after Mass, or by email at maxschneider@att.net. 

Have you found one of these bags lying in your home? If so, please return it to the church, preferably filled with the items specified on the attached tag.

If you have considered donating to the monthly Food Pantry, please pick up one (or more) of these bags in the Gathering Space, fill it and return it with your donated items—there’s even an attached card suggesting needed items. Using the teal bags helps reduce the accumulation of plastic bags.

Thank you!
