I hope that by browsing this site you will begin to appreciate the dynamism
of our parish community!
It’s always a challenge to keep our Website updated as our parish continues
to evolve. We have many, many active organizations, and I suspect that there's
something here for everybody, whether you have a special interest in our school,
religious education, youth & adult formation, Christian Service, or social gorups.
First and foremost, of course, is prayer and worship.
New members consistently report how welcomed they feel as they join our community. Periodically, there are opportunities to register new parishioners after Mass. In the meantime, please contact the parish office for registration information. The office phone number is (248) 624-1421. Online registration will be coming soon.
Our parish is located in the heart of Walled Lake, near Pontiac Trail and Maple (15 Mile) and our boundaries incorporate approximately 45 square miles, including all of Walled Lake and Wixom-and parts of West Bloomfield, Commerce, and Novi. The parish is comprised of some 1900 registered families.
God bless you!
In Jesus,
Rev. Michael G. Savickas Pastor

AND FINALLY, How should I respond?
Great questions that a lot of us never ask ourselves, or simply don't know the complete answer.
Fr. John Riccardo answers these questions. Oct 1st through November 19th, Sundays in the parish activity center beginning at 5:30pm.

Families of Parishes
The Archdiocese is launching a new initiative called "Families of Parishes", and is the next stop in our efforts to Unleash the Gospel. Because all parishes are going to be involved,
it has the potential for creating significant changes in how parishes operate and interact.
