Sewing Group | 12:00pm – 2:30pm
Come and visit our sewing ministry, learn a new skill, freshen up on an existing skill, meet some new people, enjoy fellowship through service to others.
We work on reusable sani-pads for girls and women around the world that have limited or no access to sanitary pads. Cutting, pinning, sewing – no experience necessary.
We crochet bags and sleeping mats for the homeless from plastic grocery bags, making ‘plarn’ from strips of the plastic grocery bags that do NOT need to be in our landfills. We can teach you how to crochet if you don’t know how, or you can help make the ‘plarn’.
We meet the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month from Noon until 2:30 in the John Paul II room of Holy Family Hall at Cabrini (15300 Wick Rd. Allen Park). Enter through door # 2 across from the garden.
Call or text Nancy Trela at 313-575-2971 or call Pat DeClerk at 734-946-4709 with any questions.
We would love for you to become involved.

All men are invited to join the St Frances Cabrini men of St. Joseph Prayer Group on Thursday’s from 7:00 to 8:30pm in the Mother Cabrini room for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.
We believe it is an opportunity to grow in our Catholic faith, to become beacons of light and to live as Christ intended us to live. Jesus calls men to follow His way, for He is the embodiment of Truth; leading to a life free from the lure of a world filled with growing moral darkness and death.
Join us as we gather together to follow Christ. Contact Deacon Fred Guardiola at [email protected]

Catholic Relief Services | Rice Bowl Collection
The CRS Rice Bowl is the Lenten Program of Catholic Relief Services the official international development and humanitarian relief agency of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Rice Bowl helps Catholics live out the Lenten Pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving in solidarity with our poorest brothers and sisters.
75 percent of our Rice Bowl donations support global hunger programs, and 25 percent support local charities.
Introduction
As we look to our Lenten journey, may our fasting be a hunger for justice, our alms a making of peace, and our prayers the change of humble and grateful hearts. We ask for God’s help to put our faith into action to work in love and to persevere in hope through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen
Blessing of the CRS Rice Bowls
Loving God, You are blessed and the source of every blessing. Be with us now, and throughout Lent. as we use these Rice Bowls in prayer, fasting and almsgiving. May they be an instrument of your love and a reminder of your great desire for peace and justice. May they serve to unite us with our brothers and sisters around the world, especially those who are hungry, homeless and in need. May they help us deepen our own faith in you and our love for one another, as we await with joyful anticipation the great celebration of Easter. Amen
Rice Bowls will be available starting Ash Wednesday at each of the doors please pick one up on your way out of Church! Return Rice Bowls by Palm Sunday!

The Annual Parish Lenten Service Day is Saturday, March 29 from 9:00 am to Noon in Holy Family Hall. Parishioners of all ages are encouraged to take part in an awesome morning of community service, which begins with a continental breakfast and prayer.

Sani-pads – Putting together sani-pad kits for young ladies in Africa.
Blessing Bags – Sorting and packaging hygiene products for distribution to Detroit-area organizations that serve the homeless.
Plastic mats for the Homeless – Cutting plastic grocery bags into strips, which are then rolled into balls of “plarn” to be crocheted into mats.
Sandwiches – Make and deliver 200 sandwiches for ChristNet
Comfort Cards – Decorating cards for residents of area nursing homes and soup kitchens.
ChristNet Lunch Ministry – Decorating lunch bags with positive messages for the monthly lunch ministry.
Fleece Blankets – Cozy blankets will be cut and tied for the residents of several local nursing home facilities.
The materials we need for these projects are attached to the cross in the Narthex starting on Ash Wednesday. Please take a tag or two and return the items below the cross or to the Parish office by Friday, March 28.
Sewing experience is not required, although we do need people with a sewing machine.
