For one, Fr. Ryan Ferrigan will be joining us very soon. We have more and more young adults and young families here. Our ministries are growing, as is our school. Growth is a good thing, but it also presents its own challenges. I want to see all our ministries grow and flourish so we may even better serve the parish and surrounding area of Ann Arbor. However, we are facing some big challenges with aging buildings and financial and ministerial strains that are hampering our efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have some good ideas about how to navigate some of these difficulties, but I am in need of your prayer support for more clarity, faith, and determination to properly respond to the challenges ahead of us this year. I am looking for parishioners who are willing to give an hour of their time to pray with me. I will explain in more detail some of the challenges we face at that time, but for now, I am looking for parishioners who are generous of heart and willing to offer the sacrifice of time for our parish and pray for our specific needs.
