“As Disciples of Jesus Christ, we are a giving, growing Catholic family.
Through the intercession of Mary, we worship, we pray, we study, we serve and we witness in Faith.”
On the Same Page
Rev. Denis B. Theroux, Pastor
First Sunday of Lent
Dear Friends,
On February 7, in my article On the Same Page, I wrote about new “language” being used as we move into a
Mission Focused Diocese. Today, I continue to share more information about our future as one Parish Community within
our Family of Parishes.
Each Family of Parishes will have a Mission Support Director who will oversee those ministering “behind the
scenes” in support of the mission. This position will report to the lead Pastor or Moderator of the Family. Priests and
other sta will be more able to commit themselves whole-heartedly to the work of mission direct ministries and
evangelization e orts.
As we begin this transition in our Families in the months ahead, we will need to pray especially for a spirit of
collaboration. Change, especially change in one’s work, can present stress, doubt, and uncertainty about the future. I
ask each of you to pray for a new openness to this renewal and collaboration, knowing that God is particularly generous
when we pray for graces to better evangelize.
Mission Direct ministries primarily work directly with the faithful in achieving the mission and are designed to
rmly root parish pastoral ministry in Synod 16 and the Unleash the Gospel pastoral letter. To accomplish this goal, we
have identi ed ve ministry areas that re ect a vibrant and evangelizing parish. These are:
1. Discipleship Formation, overseeing all aspects of disciple formation in the Family, with emphasis on encounter,
grow, and witness. The Director of Discipleship Formation identi es, recruits, and forms catechists; assists the
school faculty in the preparation of creative, spirit- lled liturgies and sacramental experiences; and other related
tasks. In the past, this position would have been recognized by the title of Faith Formation Director.
2. Engagement, assisting parishioners by equipping them for the service of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Director of Engagement supervises those working in ministry placement, evangelization, communications,
RCIA, hospitality, and ecumenical ministries. Perhaps for us, this position has been most closely related to our
Pastoral Associate.
3. Evangelical Charity, ensuring a full response to Catholic social teaching through charity in areas of human need,
both within the parish and beyond. In the past we have called this person, The Director of Christian
Service supervises those working in human services; community outreach; visitation of the sick and homebound;
Stephen Ministry; and funeral luncheon ministries.
4. Family Ministries, assisting families living as domestic churches in their homes. The Director of Family
Ministry supervises those working with infant baptism, marriage preparation, and family support group
ministries. Again, this position has been most aligned with our Pastoral Associate.
5. Worship, facilitating the worship life of the community by coordinating and providing quality prayer and
liturgical experiences. The Director of Worship supervises those working in liturgy; parish music; prayer groups;
and wake service ministries. This position here at OLV has been shared by both the Music Director, Pastor,
Deacons and Pastoral Associates.
The future is in our hands, with God’s Grace and Mercy, Father Denis

We Adore You Oh Christ…As we enter the Lenten Season, the Church invites us to look at ourselves and at our
lives in the here and now. However, the Church also invites us to look to the future. This year for our Entrance Rite, we
are using the verse used at the Stations of the Cross…We Adore you oh Christ and we Praise you; because by your Holy
Cross You Have Redeemed the World. I thought it would be interesting to use an actual visual from our past as a Parish.
In 1922, the Archdiocese of Detroit purchased a parcel of land, a former section of an Apple Orchard, on the
corner of Thayer Blvd and Orchard Drive, known as part of the Orchard Heights district in Northville. As with the
building of any new Church, Sanctuary appointments are manufactured and purchased for Parish use. In the original
wood structure, the Stations of the Cross that were installed in the Church, from my research, suggest that these Bas
Relief designs were probably created in France in the late 1890s. Made of wet plaster, they would have then been
painted with an oil and water “paint.”
These three Stations of the Cross represented on our altar, three of the original 14, have been given to me…or
truly “returned” to OLV. Frequently when churches have been closed, the content is “given” away to parishioners.
These Stations were kept by faithful parishioners until their death and/or by family members who later have come
across them when cleaning out closets and homes. Thankfully, they thought to bring them back to us here at OLV.
I thought that by using them this year as a visual in the Sanctuary, we might be mindful of all those who have
worshiped and prayed on this parcel of land for the past 99 years! May we always remember them with love, a ection
and respect as we witness our faith to the generations that will come after us!
I also felt that it would be a great way for us to begin to look forward to our Centennial Celebration in 2022.
Below are pictures of the three Stations returned to me!
The Eleventh Station: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
We adore you O Christ, and we Praise you: Because by your Holy Cross you
have Redeemed the World.
The Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross
We adore you O Christ, and we Praise you: Because by your Holy Cross you
have Redeemed the World.
The Thirteenth Station: Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross
We adore you O Christ, and we Praise you: Because by your Holy Cross you
have Redeemed the World.

OLV St. Vincent de Paul Society | Conference #437
In today’s Gospel (Mark 1:12-15), Jesus overcomes the temptations of wealth, power and esteem. As we begin Lent,
may we open our hearts to the grace of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
Jesus went into the desert to be alone. He is on the brink of initiating his public ministry. Something new and important is
about to happen and he does the natural thing … goes off alone to think things through and confronts the demons that would
dissuade him from his mission. He then goes to Galilee to proclaim the gospel of God. This defines in a nutshell what Lent is
all about: spending extra time by ourselves so we can come to the Easter celebration better able to proclaim the gospel.
(Living Liturgy, p.74)

By Kathy Sanderson, Music Director
Somehow Lent has sneaked up on us. Wasn’t it just Christmas? Lent is a time of spiritual renewal, more so than
Advent when we prepare for the happy event at Christmas. In Lent, we prepare for the more solemn event in the
Cruci xion, but happy in the Resurrection. As we begin this season, and as we have done in the past to mark a new
liturgical season, our Gathering song will be a special rite that will help us to focus on our Lenten journey. This year, the
refrain to the song is taken from the Stations of the Cross: We adore you O Christ and we bless you. You have redeemed
the world. Many of us have walked the stations and begin each one with this response to remind us that Jesus, doing the
will of his Father, had to walk that path to gain our salvation. Also to note the change of liturgical season, our mass setting
will change to Haugen’s Mass of Remembrance which is based on his song “We Remember.” The Communion song for
Lent is “Eat This Bread” from the Taize community, and something different this year, each week as we leave our sacred
space, we will sing the refrain to “Return to God” to remind us of God’s love during the week. We also “put away” the
Alleluia for Lent so that we may joyfully bring it back at the Easter Vigil and rejoice with the risen Christ in the salvation of
the world.
Ever feel like you are out there alone?

GREETINGS FROM THE FIRST GRADE
BY MRS. KATHY GUIREY, OLV 1ST GRADE TEACHER
Our days in rst grade are packed with learning and fun! One of the
highlights is working in Math Stations. Students complete activities in
small groups to practice and apply the math strategies taught in the
classroom. Not only do Math Stations help students build their skills, they give them an
opportunity to work and learn cooperatively with their classmates. A few of our current
favorite Math Stations include sequencing 2-digit numbers, comparing numbers using greater
than or less than, nding the missing addend in an addition sentence, building numbers with
tens and ones, and working on our problem solving skills with games with OSMO on the
iPads.

If you are just now ge ng back to Mass in person, please note a few changes:
• Limited sea ng. Based on the layout of the church, our sea ng capacity is around 125 per Mass. Reserva ons are not needed at
this me. So if the church is full, the doors will close.
• Church doors will open 20 minutes prior to Mass. The doors will close and lock when Mass is started.
• Social Distance: Households may sit together but will be distanced (by 6 feet) to surrounding parishioners.
• Masks: All Parishioners must wear a mask. Your mask may be moved to consume communion.
• If you have an O ering, it can be deposited in a bin found in the Gathering Space entrance.
We understand that everyone is anxious to get back to normal and public Mass is one of those events that is “normal” to us!
However, if you are sick, have a fever or cough, have underlying health condi ons, or if you have been exposed to someone who is sick
(anyone in an “at-risk” category, or uncomfortable in a group se ng), please remain home and con nue to enjoy our live stream
o erings. Archbishop Vigneron has granted dispensa on from the Sunday obliga on to celebrate Mass to all the faithful of the
Archdiocese through Saturday, March 13, 2021.
