No. For nearly a decade, St. Mary & St. John the Baptist Parishes have operated without a permanent priest in residence.

Each weekend we have visiting Sacramental Ministers (aka Priests) to celebrate Mass with us. Most of these men are retired.

If you or someone you know needs to receive the Anointing of the Sick, then please contact Nancy at the parish office (989-584-6044). If it is an emergency, then she will find a priest to Anoint you immediately. Otherwise, she will bring the visiting priest out after Mass on the weekend.

Maybe. Each priest is different and has different requirements before they will marry a couple. Also, it will depend on their schedule. Please speak with Nancy during your marriage preparation classes if you would like to request a specific priest for your wedding.

Saturday evening Mass is at 4:00pm and will stay that way until further notice.

The actual definition of "ecumenical" is: "representing a number of different Christian churches."
