First Week of Advent
Advent Spiritual Adoption Program
Cindy Wishart of Encounter Ministries of Michigan, (also a Parish Member), contacted St Edith about partnering with them in a Spiritual Adoption Program this Advent. With face to face evangelization at a standstill with COVID, this would be a great opportunity for our community to reach out to others. This program will require you to pray for someone in recovery for addictions regarding alcohol, drugs or pornography or family members who are dealing with family suffering from those additions.
Print off the Spiritual Adoption Certificate, write only your FIRST name on it, and then bring it to Church. It's that easy! There will be a container in the Gathering Space for the return of the completed forms. These forms will then be distributed to those who are in need of our prayers.
You, the adopter, will not know the name of the person you are adopting, but you will promise to pray daily for the individual who receives their certificate. It could be as simple as a Hail Mary, or however the Holy Spirit leads them to pray.
Thank you in advance for lifting these souls up in prayer!

Catholic Services Appeal (CSA)
The CSA appeal usually happens in the spring but because of the pandemic it was delayed until now. We are asking you to generously support this year’s CSA.
Consider the benefits:
- We make our CSA target from contributions and not from parish operating funds.
- We get a refund that we can use to make parish capital improvements or keep money on reserve for emergencies in our bank account.
- We have more money from the weekly collection for parish programs.
- Our weekly collections remain stable.
- And, we continue to share Christ in and through the Church of Detroit and our own parish of St. Edith.
- Click here to learn more and see the four ways to contribute!
