The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord: Feb. 2
The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord commemorates the event in which Mary and Joseph presented the infant Jesus in the temple. They loved their son deeply, but knew that Jesus belonged to the Lord more than to them—that he even belonged to the world more than them—and they promised to share him with the world.
Much like Mary and Joseph, we too must remain obedient, surrendering ourselves to God's will.

Solidarity Fund for National Eucharistic Congress
The National Eucharistic Congress has recently released information about a Solidarity Fund available for both individuals and groups interested in attending the Congress but who are unable to afford the inherent costs.
For individuals:
The scholarship application is available for anyone interested in applying. The application is self-guided and user-friendly.
For groups:
The scholarship application for groups requires some collaboration with the Diocese of Gaylord, and is meant for youth, school, or parish groups. If you are interested in bringing a group from your parish or school, please reach out to me or Ami Peterson, (989) 705-3539, to learn more about what the process looks like.
For both groups and individuals, the link to apply for the Solidarity Fund is below:
