Sacred Heart Catholic Community welcomes its parishioners and visitors to the first evening of their Lenten Mission on Sunday, March 30, 2025, featuring Fr. Jim Lowe of the Companions of the Cross. The event will begin with a 5:00 PM Mass followed by the 6:00 PM Mission presentation, drawing families from across Grosse Ile and neighboring communities seeking spiritual renewal and guidance. As the congregation gathers in the church’s sanctuary, there will be an atmosphere of reflection fitting for this season of preparation before Easter.
“Family/Children’s Night” Focuses on Challenges Facing Modern Families
Designated as “Family/Children’s Night,” this opening session of the four-day Lenten journey specifically addresses the challenges facing modern families in an increasingly anxious world. The mission’s focus on the human and divine love of Jesus Christ will resonate deeply with attendees, many of whom usually express appreciation for the practical spiritual guidance offered.
Set against the backdrop of the Jubilee Year of Hope, Fr. Lowe’s message will emphasize Christ’s healing presence as an antidote to the uncertainties that many local residents have been experiencing in recent times.
A Family-Friendly Structure With Spiritual Insights for All Ages
The evening’s structure is carefully designed to accommodate families, with the early Mass time allowing for full participation before transitioning into the mission presentation. Children are especially welcome at this first session, with Fr. Lowe incorporating elements that engage younger participants while still delivering profound spiritual insights for adults.
Sacred Heart Catholic Community’s facilities at 21599 Parke Lane in Grosse Ile is an ideal setting for the gathering, with the parish hall transforming into a space conducive to reflection and community building.
