Divine Mercy Novena & Celebration

Parishioners are encouraged to pray the Divine Mercy novena each day beginning on Good Friday, April 3. Red pamphlets with instructions for praying the chaplet and each day’s intentions are in the narthex and gathering space. The intentions are also available online.

St. Anthony’s will have a Divine Mercy celebration from 2:00 – 4:00 pm on Sunday, April 12. There will be adoration and confession available, and Chaplet of Divine Mercy will be prayed at 3:00 pm.

“I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death” (Diary, 1209).

Disciple Maker Index

What is the Disciple Maker Index?

• This Lent, every parish in the Diocese of Lansing will be participating in the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) through the Catholic Leadership Institute. The DMI is a brief and anonymous survey that asks members of the parish ages 14 and older to report on their faith and answer questions about the state of our parish. This survey helps Fr. David and parish leadership see where our greatest strengths lie, and where we have opportunities for growth. It’s also an excellent chance to have an impact by sharing where you want our parish to go in the coming years.
• St. Anthony’s previously participated in the DMI in 2020 and 2023. This Lent will be our final time taking the survey and we want as many parishioners as possible to participate! The survey takes only 10-15 minutes, is entirely anonymous and confidential, and truly does assist in planning for the future of our church.
• You can take the DMI online at any time up until March 31st. Use this link to take the survey.
• We would like for as many people as possible to participate in the DMI online, but if you need to take the survey with a paper copy, we will have volunteers available after all masses on the weekends of March 1st, 8th, and 15th. You can stop by the parish hall/gathering space after Mass, fill out the survey, and hand it back to a volunteer.
• All high school students, college students, and adults who attend Mass at St. Anthony’s are invited to participate. Please help our parish continue to improve and grow in holiness by completing a survey this lent.
