Fr. Mark Brauer, Pastor�

OUR VISION

To know Christ and �

to make Christ known�

Fr. Paul Graney�

Associate Pastor�

Fr. Derik Peterman�

Associate Pastor�

The priests who serve in the Archdiocese of Detroit begin their assignments

on July 1 of each year. July 1 also begins the new fiscal year of each �

parish. The newly ordained begin their first assignment and the priests

who have been reassigned also start anew in their assigned parishes.

The Assignment Board makes recommendations to Archbishop Vigneron

and then he appoints the priests. The assignments are usually three

years for an associate pastor and six years for a pastor.�

So, please join me in welcoming our new Associate Pastor Fr. Dave

Tomazycki. Fr. Dave was serving for four years at Our Lady of Good

Counsel in Plymouth. He is one of Fr. Graney’s classmates. An article of

introduction will be in next week’s bulletin.�

In addition to Fr. Dave there will be a priest in residence beginning this

weekend. Fr. Jim Livingston will be living in the rectory and taking one �

of the weekend Masses of the parish. Fr. Jim is the new chaplain at �

Ascension Hospitals in Southfield and Novi. He began his ministry on

May 1 of this year. An article of introduction can be found on page 9 in

today’s bulletin. The rectory will be full with four priests in residence, three

assigned to the parish and one who will assist on weekends.�

The parish also welcomes a new staff member. Mr. Erik Coules has

joined the parish staff as the Director of Family Discipleship. When Greg

Crachiolo, the former DRE (Director of Religious Education) resigned this

past December it presented an opportunity to vision anew the Religious

Education experience of the parish. A Vision Team was formed and with

the guidance of the Holy Spirit came up with a new direction to enrich the

whole family and not just the child in regards to faith formation.�

The Office of Family Discipleship will continue the necessary catechesis

and sacramental preparation for the children of the parish. Erik will �

collaborate with Mrs. Ann Whitfield, our principal, in supporting the �

teacher’s catechetical certification and the Archdiocese’s Religion standards.

Erik’s article of introduction will be in the parish bulletin on July 12.�

I am grateful to Mrs. Linda Cwiek, Administrative Assistant, and Mrs.

Grace Papa for their support of the children, their families and Catechists

during the past six months. During the pandemic when the reception of

the sacraments were on hold, Linda took charge and patiently responded

to all of the questions and concerns of the parents. For this I am indebted. �

I thank all of you for your prayers and financial support of our parish during

this time of pandemic. As I begin my 16th year as your pastor on July 1, �

I am humbled to continue to serve you. Let us ask the Holy Spirit for the

gift of courage as we continue to know Christ and to make Christ known. �

Peace.�

Fr. Mark Brauer�

A Prayer for Spiritual Communion �

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the �

Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things

and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I �

you as if you were already there and unite myself

wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from

you. Amen.�

MEET FR. JIM LIVINGSTON, PRIEST IN RESIDENCE

Dear Our Lady of Sorrows Family,�

I will be residing at Our Lady of Sorrows as I begin

my new assignment. This is my introduction to you

as I resume active ministry as a priest in the�

Archdiocese of Detroit. I left the priesthood 15 years

ago and am excited in returning to my vocation as a

priest. And I do so with heartfelt gratitude to Fr. Mark

Brauer's generosity in creating a place and space for

me to serve as a joyful missionary to “Unleash the

Gospel” in this parish community and beyond.�

I come to you as an Irish Catholic native of Michigan.

I was born into a beautiful, large Irish Catholic family.

My parents were loving and faith�filled in their example

to follow Jesus and love of the Church and the �

sacraments. I have four sisters and one brother. My

mom continues to bless us with her presence for her

six children and ten grandchildren. My father passed

away suddenly and tragically in the mid�1990s.�

Ordained to the priesthood on June 29, 1991, the

Solemnity of the Feast of St. Peter and Paul, I was in

active ministry as a priest for over 13 years. Those

years of priesthood were blessed ones. The greatest

joy I received was being presider at the sacraments.

I remember my first Mass in holding the bread and

wine in my hands and through the prayers of the

Church in Christ these elements were blessed, �

broken and shared with one another. I felt privileged

in bringing others into the faith through baptism,

hearing confessions, presiding at weddings and

anointing individuals in their sickness and dying.

These “sacrament moments” deepened my love for

Christ and His Church.�

I left active ministry as a priest in February 2005. I

prayed and discerned at the time to step away from

active ministry to grieve the loss of my father who

died suddenly and tragically of suicide in 1996. I had

put my grief on hold to minister to the brokenness of

my family and pastoring two parishes with significant

financial issues.�

During my time away, I was a clinical therapist, �

hospice chaplain and director of mission and pastoral

care for a long�term retirement community. These

ministries were enriching and rewarding work. And,

in them, I believe God was laying the groundwork for

my return to active ministry as a priest.�

I began thinking more seriously in my return to �

the priesthood in the winter of 2015. My aunt, a �

professed member of the Franciscan Sisters of the

Atonement (SA), was at Marywood in Livonia. She

had some medical issues and was in rehabilitation.

During a visit one afternoon, we began a deep and

meaningful spiritual conversation on why I left active

ministry. During our talk, I came to realize I was

very broken, angry and hurt concerning my father's

sudden death. I also became more aware of the

Lord's hand was upon me in beginning the healing

process in my life. I came away from the encounter

with the desire to pray and discern God's will in my life. �

In the summer of 2016, I began clinical therapy for

my healing, a “recovery” that included counseling,

spiritual direction, prayer and conversations with

family and friends. After several months, I reached

out to Archbishop Vigneron regarding the possibility

of a return to active ministry. He was most supportive

� pastoral � and had me work with Fr. Bob Spezia,

vicar of clergy. What followed was a series of diligent,

personal, and I must say, helpful steps to facilitate

my return, including a conference for priests on

healing and pastoral ministry, an eight�day silent

retreat, scheduled sessions of spiritual direction and

reconnecting with priests.�

I am coming back to active ministry because I love

Jesus and want to follow Him. I had a conversion at

age 19 and fell in love with Jesus. I know this is �

another step in my relationship with Him. I am saying

yes to Him. I love the Church, the sacraments and

the People of God. �

In my current assignment, I will to serve as �

chaplain to the Ascension hospitals in Novi and

Southfield. I am most grateful for this opportunity,

especially now. As Archbishop Vigneron has said:

“Christ’s death and rising is a grace that should

shape every day of a Christian’s life, and above all

in these days.” �

As society and church life returns to normalcy, �

I expect to also assist with weekend Mass and �

sacramental schedules here at the parish. Seeking

the compassion and intervention of Our Lady of

Sorrows, I ask that you please pray for me, as I �

will for you in this new part of our spiritual journey

with Jesus. �

I am in Jesus,�

Fr. James Livingston�
