The Keweenaw Catholic Community is excited to share in a vicariate summer youth camp being held at Church of the Resurrection. “Totus Tuus” is a weeklong program dedicated to sharing the Gospel with youth in grades K to 12th, in a way that is both fun and highly effective. As implied by its title, which means “totally yours”, the aim of “TOTUS TUUS” is to help young people give their lives totally to God. It’s also totally fun. For more information, please contact the Faith Formation Coordinator at (906)-337-0810 by June 6th. Elementary Program (K thru 6th grades) 9:00 am to 2:30 pm; Monday thru Friday Transportation (Bus) is provided. Middle & High School (7th thru 12th grades) 7:00 pm to 9:15 pm; Sunday thru Thursday

Fr. Gracious has asked that the Keweenaw Catholic Community parishioners pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3 pm – the hour of our divine Savior’s death – each day until Divine Mercy Sunday (April 19th) . While praying this powerful prayer, let us ask our Lord for Protection & Healing for our families, our community, our nation, and the whole world.
If you have a family member/friend who has been infected by the Corona virus, Fr. Gracious would like to pray for person during the private daily Masses and Sunday Masses. A votive candle will also be lit for his/her healing. Please call the parish office to have their names included in his prayers and a votive candle lit.
