Fall Festival Proceeds For Hurricane Helene Relief
This year, all proceeds from our parish Fall Festival/dinner will be going to help those who have been affected by Hurricane Helene in Grovetown, Georgia. Our former parishioner, Patricia Durham lives in Grovetown. Although Pat said she was only "inconvenienced" by not having phone, electricity, cable, etc. for nearly two weeks, she is grateful as many in her parish have lost their homes. She said there are still trees on top of homes in the area.
Her parish, St. Teresa of Avila, has started a Fund to help parishioners and those in their community who have suffered great loss. Ten families in the parish lost their homes and many more have been displaced until their homes can be repaired.
So, in thanks for all that we have here, all proceeds from the Fall Festival will go to help those in Grovetown, Georgia.
Thank You. LIFT Sodality

Where We’re At - October 27, 2024 - by Fr. Terry Kerner, Administrator/Moderator
The weather has cooperated with us in getting some important work done around the parish. Father Yagley Hall’s parking lot has been sealed, restriped and is looking pretty good! The hydroseeding, done some weeks ago, began the start of a healthy and beautiful greenspace around our new parking lot. Maple trees and burning bushes have been added to the landscapes and the City of Dearborn has installed trees along Schaefer. By the end of October, we hope to see a fence and gates being installed. During the winter season, a committee will be formed to plan the design for the memorial gardens. The committee will also organize and begin taking orders for memorial pavers. Stations of the Cross, donated by the Knights of Columbus, will be erected in the Spring. A final addition next Spring will be the installation of the Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Procuring a suitable one has proven to be a challenge. We have searched Archdiocesan parishes that might possibly have one, but to no avail. A quality outdoor statue costs between $10,000-$11,000. No small amount but something someone might want to donate in memory of a loved one. Thank you to all who have shown patience over the last few years.
Our St. Alphonsus-St. Clement parish deserves our gratitude for your generosity and responsible giving to this year’s Catholic Services Appeal. The CSA has doubled its targeted amount. Of course, every dollar over the target remains in the parish for our needs. It is remarkable that a parish, with 226 households, in eighteen cities, with twenty-five zip codes can do as well as we have done this year! Donations to the CSA are still being taken from both parishioners and non-parishioners alike. Former parishioners might, also, want to contribute to the parish with online giving. They can enjoy their legacy by becoming “associate parishioners”. Supporting St. Alphonsus-St. Clement is an ideal gesture as we are coming into the season of greater giving!
