NO COFFEE HOUR TODAY
Due to parking for the Detroit Lions football game, we need to leave immediately after the Divine Liturgy; and as such, there will be no coffee hour today.
Thank you for your kind understanding and consideration.
LIONS GAMES
On the Sundays that the Lions are playing a 1:00 PM home game, parishioners are kindly asked to leave the parking lot immediately after church. There will be no coffee hour. If you leave your car in the lot for any reason, you will be required to pay for parking at the posted rates. The church leases the parking lot to Park-Rite. This is our single largest source of income. On non-game days, you can stay parked in the lot until 2:00 pm.
