Interested in bringing Millions of Monicas to our Parish?
Several mothers in our parish are interested in starting a Millions of Monicas prayer group, a beautiful ministry inspired by the perseverance of Saint Monica.
Before we can begin, we are looking for a few additional mothers to serve as co-leaders and help establish the ministry. Millions of Monicas is not a support group or discussion group. It is a dedicated hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, uniting mothers in hopeful, faithful prayer for the return of their children who are in need of God’s mercy and a return to the practice of their Catholic Faith.
If you would be interested in helping launch this ministry as a co-leader, please contact via text: Lisa Boboige (313) 402-9195
First Meeting: Wednesday, September 16 @ 6:30pm in the St. Hugh Chapel

Discipleship Groups
Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible
Many Catholics want to read the Bible but get bogged down by the long stretches that seem not to make sense or get lost among the sea of Old Testament names and places. Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible, an eight-part Bible study, helps you uncover the story woven throughout Scripture, so you can get the “big picture” of the Bible and understand what it’s all about. Aided by a unique color-coded Bible Timeline Chart that arranges the key people, places, and events of the Bible in chronological order, Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible will help you pick up the Bible with confidence and understand how you fit into God’s plan.
Quo Vadis Domine Parishes will begin the Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible study on several dates with our Small Discipleship Groups. Participants will meet every week to view an engaging video presentation followed by a time of lively group discussion and fellowship. For more information or to register, contact Therese at (313)436-0201 or ttardiff@qvdomine.org or Armando Bravo at abravo@qvdominge.org. Cost: $20.00 for the workbook.

Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries
The Sanctuary Course for Catholics
Would you value joining others in a conversation about mental health? Would you like to discover what God, Scripture, and Church have to say in light of the experiences of mental health challenges?
Sign up for The Sanctuary Course for Catholics with Quo Vadis Family of Parishes, The subject matter feels particularly relevant in these times of heightened anxiety, and the course creates an opportunity to connect with and support each other in meaningful ways.
The Sanctuary Course for Catholics is an eight-part course for small groups designed to raise awareness and start conversations in local parishes regarding mental health. It was created in collaboration with Catholic mental health professionals, theologians, and clergy, and offers faith communities the opportunity to learn about mental health and grow in their ability to support members living with mental health challenges.
Topics covered include: mental health and mental illness, stigma, recovery, companionship, self-care, and community. The sessions are accompanied by compelling films that feature the stories of Catholics living with mental health challenges, along with the insights of archbishops, theologians, and psychologists. The course is available to download as a PDF, or as an audiobook if you’d prefer to listen rather than read. There is no homework, but it’s recommended that you read/listen to the sessions in advance of meeting.
Friday’s from 9:30 – 11:00am October 2 – November 20
