Pray this prayer for Bishop Gruss and our Priests who are on retreat this week.
Loving Lord, You invited your apostles to go with you to a deserted place to rest for a while. As Bishop Gruss and the priests of the Diocese of Saginaw leave for their retreat, we ask you to help them experience You as Your apostles did. We pray that the fruit of this retreat will continue to grow and be reflected in each of their ministries during this retreat as well as upon their return.

Christ's mission is our mission
Christ’s Mission Appeal supports essential ministries. When looking back on the past fiscal year, it seems it has gone by quickly—yet we have accomplished so much. Every week, we are doing more and serving more people within the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw. When I say “we,” it refers to all of us.
