I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen

Welcome to this Roman Catholic Site!!
No matter where you live in the United States you will find local Catholic schools closing in record numbers. Now our Catholic churches have begun to close, as well. Many communities find that six Catholic churches are combining into ONE church!
The reasons for this are many, but first and foremost it is the shortage of priests and religious to run these Churches. Please PRAY for our priests and for vocations. Secondly, PRAY for the return of our young to Mass. Thirdly, PRAY that our Catholic schools may be reopened through stewardship of our wealthier Catholics.
PRAYER FOR EMPLOYMENT - There are so many out of work and in danger of losing their homes. Please pray!

This modest booklet has been published by the Marianhill Fathers of Detroit, Michigan since 1938 and promotes devotion to God.
LEAVES also features testimonies of readers to the powerful intercession of Father Engelmar in the hope that he will someday be canonized a saint.
Father Engelmar Unzeitig, C.M.M. selflessly gave up his life in February 1948 while ministering to those dying of typhus in the Dachau concentration camp.
If you DON'T already receive LEAVES magazine, you are missing out of a wonderful spiritual pick-me-up.
Please click Marianhill Mission Society to learn more about the Marianhill Fathers of Michigan.
Many of us like to pray Novenas to our favorite saints, such as St. Therese of Lisieux, Saint Jude Thaddeus, Saint Padre Pio, St. Anne, and more. EWTN has a list of novena prayers that cover just about every saint.
Visit EWTN's novena page and print out a copy of your favorite devotional: EWTN Novena Page (Mother Angelica's network).
If you have never seen, heard or read Fr. Benedict Groeschel, who has a Ph.D in Psychology, you don't know what you are missing. Although we are the modest monk would disagree, he makes us feel that we are watching a saint on earth. You can catch him weekly on EWTN on his latest show, called Sunday Night Live

The Historical Commission is appointed to collect and examine all the documents of the candidate.
Fatima
During the months of May through October, 1917, on the 13th of each month at noon, Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children. News of the apparations spread, and by the sixth month, when a great miracle was promised by Our Lady, there were, my most estimates, over 100,000 pilgrims to witness the great Miracle of the Sun.
As Our Lady told the children, Jacinta and Francesco entered into the Kingdom of Heaven within a very short (two years) time after the last apparition. Lucia, as Our Lady stated, was to stay here for "some time" to spread the message - which mainly was to spread the saying of the "beads", or Rosary.
Lucia, who spent most of her life as a cloistered Carmelite nun, passed away just this past February 13, 2005. She was one month short of her 98th birthday.
If you have forgotten the wonderful story of Fatima, please refamiliarize yourself with it. It is wonderful and inspiring. You can learn more about Fatima at www.BLUEARMY.com, which helps spread the story of Our Lady of Fatima and the message which our Heavenly Mother requested be spread far and wide.
