COLUMBARIUM FOR ST. MICHAEL

ST. AGNES CEMETERY

At the recommendation of the Holy Trinity Parish

cemetery commission, and with the approval of

our Finance Commission and Parish Council, we

are pleased to announce that a columbarium will

be added to St. Michael/St. Agnes Cemetery. A

columbarium enables those who have been

cremated to be placed above ground in a secure

reverent manner. Many of the cemeteries in our

area already have this

capability. Our columbarium

will have 40 niches each of

which can hold two

cremations. This project is

made possible by a donation

from the estate of Mary

Ellery, which covers a

significant portion of the

expense. The columbarium

will be placed near the boundary of St. Agnes and

St. Michael cemetery. An artist rendering of the

design is on the easel in the vestibule of our

church. The design will incorporate the

refurbished Christ the King statue that was in front

of St. Agnes Church on a pedestal and two

benches for seating. The plan is to have this in

place for our Memorial Day Mass at the cemetery.

In the design there is a pedestal for the Christ the

King statue and two benches. We are offering

those who may be interested to make donations

toward the pedestal, $4,300, and the two benches,

$1,200 each. Anyone making a donation will have

the option of having their name engraved on the

pedestal or bench. If interested, please contact

the parish office. If we do not get donations for

these items the balance required will be taken

from the Salois Cemetery Endowment.

A columbarium provides a cost effective and

reverent manner to place cremations in our

cemetery. Please contact the parish office if you

would like to consider this alternative for burial.

If you have any questions please contact Deacon

Gary directly on this topic or see the board in the

vestibule.

PRAYERS FOR LENT

Heavenly Father, you commanded and invite

believers in Jesus to pray. I stand amazed that

you desire intimate conversation with me, but I

confess, O Lord, that my prayer life is not what it

should be. I often lack the words to express my

gratitude, and in my selfishness, I forget to pray for

those who are in need. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for

interceding on my behalf. Grant me grace to

speak with the confidence of knowing you will hear

my prayers for Christ’s sake. Amen

THE DIOCESE OF SAGINAW

THE SHROUD OF TURIN COMING TO DIOCESE OF SAGINAW

Just in time for the beginning of Lent…the Diocese of Saginaw is honored to host the Shroud of Turin

Replica Exhibit, which is on loan from the Marytown Franciscan community in Illinois. After 36 years of

exhaustive and medical, historical and scientific research, the Center for the Study of the Passion of the

Christ and the Holy Shroud has developed a moving and informative exhibit. The centerpiece is a full

length photographic image of the Shroud made by the Eastman Kodak Co. In addition, the mobile exhibit

contains a large crucified corpus showing the wounds of Christ corresponding to the passion narrative in

the Gospel accounts and the wounds shown on the Shroud. The exhibit contains 92 panels detailing the

history and science of the Shroud.

There is no cost to view the exhibit, however, donations are

welcome. The exhibit will be open to the public at the Center for Ministry

in Saginaw during these times:

Sunday, February 18: Noon to 5:00 p.m.

Monday, February 19: 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

If there are questions, please call the Center at 989-797-6607.

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

“After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God …” Mark 1:14

Imagine how difficult it must have been for Jesus to come into Galilee, knowing that John had just been ar-

rested for teaching the same message he was proclaiming. Jesus obviously had great love and trust in what

the Father had sent Him here on Earth to do. Similarly, living life as a Christian steward takes great love and

trust. We must trust that God will always give us all that we need to fulfill His plan for us.
