We receive our guests from the South Oakland Shelter Intake Site. We provide transportation to and from Royal Oak to Walled Lake each evening and morning.

We need help at the various Nursing Homes that we service in the St. William Parish area. We need Eucharistic Ministers to go once a week to the different facilities. The way we schedule the ministers, each minister would only have one day in the Month that would need to be filled, and it only takes a couple of hours on a day that you are free. Please consider this wonderful ministry. If you are interested in participating in this ministry please contact Deacon Jene at the Christian Service Office, telephone 248-624-8870.
For The Military The meetings are on the fourth Wednesday of each month, from: 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., in the Cardinal Maida Meeting Room. A pocket prayer quilt for the military is a small cloth square, with a Cross sewn on the inside. It has up to 4 strings for tying prayer knots on it, and can be easily put into the recipient's pocket. So when a soldier puts it in his or her pocket, they know that the prayers of many people are always with them. We also make “Prayer Quilts” for those who are sick. For more information, please call the Christian Service office
We are looking for those people who would like to join our Right to Life group. Currently the group is low on members and would like to invite all those who wish to not only pray for the Unborn, but also would be interested in helping with the Right to Life movement.
