Cabrini hosts Christnet for the homeless
Our parish will once again host the ChristNet Warming Center for one week right here at Cabrini in the Holy Family Hall. Our week will start on the evening of Sunday, February 15 and go through the morning of Sunday, February 22. We are one of 14 other local churches that have agreed to assist them with providing emergency assistance through the cold winter months of January, February and March.
Currently several of the guests that go to the ChristNet Drop-in center on a daily basis are living in their cars or out in the woods. As a host church we will provide a hot meal for the guests when they arrive in the evening, a warm place to sleep through the night and a continental breakfast for them before they are picked up in the morning.
We are hoping that you will assist us in providing for the homeless for this week. A volunteer sign-up sheet for daily meals, supplies and nighttime chaperones are on the table in the Narthex. Take a look and see how you can get involved.
The efforts of many make this Christian outreach a success, and we are certain this year the same holds true. Monetary donations help to offset the cost of items that may need purchased for guests when they come to us asking for shoes, boots, coats, jeans etc.
If you have any questions, please call Therese Tardiff. 313-436-0201 or ttardiff@qvdomine.org.

Order of Christian Initiation for Adults
(Formely RCIA)
OCIA is a communal process for formal initiation of new members into the Catholic Church.
In this journey, we gather to learn about faith and the Church foundation, rites and traditions; and, to share with one another our faith experiences.
Would you like to know about our faith? We invite you to continue learning about the process of our Faith! (from USCCB see: Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us: A Pastoral Plan for Adult Faith Formation in the United States).
We are echoing the bishop’s goal of having effective faith formation that promotes and support our Christian family.
A new group that will begin to gather in February 17, 2026. All are Welcome!
“Let’s continue believing.”

Lenten Parish Day of Service
The Annual Parish Lenten Service Day is Saturday, March 21 from 9:00 am to Noon in the St. Anne Rm of the 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.
All you need to participate is care and concern for our sisters and brothers in need, and enthusiasm. Together, we will accomplish great things.
Here is what we’ll be doing:
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 20.
Sewing experience is not required, although we do need people with a sewing machine.
In order to prepare a place for everyone, we need to know who is participating in our Service Day. To register call the parish office at 313-436-0201 or email Therese at ttardiff@qvdomine.org

St. Frances Cabrini Parish Festival
To bring this year’s festival to life, we are currently seeking Game Chairs and Polish Booth Chairs. These roles are essential to creating the welcoming, lively atmosphere our parish family loves. If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, this is a great way to make a meaningful impact.
We are looking for someone to shadow Tiffany and Rory Cogswell, who have faithfully and skillfully led our festival for many years. This will be their final year at the helm, and we are deeply grateful for the excellent work they’ve done. Their dedication has shaped the festival into the cherished tradition it is today.
If you feel called to step into a leadership role—or simply want to learn more—please reach out to: tcogswell@cabriniparish.com
And as always, donations are greatly appreciated as we prepare for another unforgettable celebration of faith, fellowship, and fun.
Let’s make 2026 our best festival yet!
