Fr. Dan Reim Legacy ASB Scholarship Fund
As we said goodbye to Fr. Dan earlier this month, we were truly in awe of his 11 inspiring years at SMSP. Active in our community – tackling social justice issues – and always smiling, he will be greatly missed.
We have set up a Legacy ASB Scholarship Fund in his name to honor his remarkable contributions. When he arrived in Ann Arbor, there were 3 active ASB sites. This past year we participated in 9 domestic and 3 international sites, sending over 130 students from our community to serve those in need.
If you are interesting in donating to the Fr. Dan Reim Legacy ASB Scholarship Fund, envelopes are available in the parish office or you can give online.

2015 Diocesan Services Appeal
Thank you to everyone who made a pledge to the Diocesan Services Appeal last weekend. If you were unable to pledge last weekend, please consider doing so. You can also give online by clicking the yellow GIVE icon at the top of this webpage.
Please prayerfully consider a gift, within your means, in support of the future of our diocese. It is important to remember that no gift is too small.
As you prayerfully consider your gift to DSA, allow yourself to be motivated by gratitude to God, making a generous gift within your means, to the Lord for all the blessings in your life.
Our 2015 DSA theme, “For Everything is From You, and What We Give Is What We Have From You,” reminds us that we bring nothing material into this world and we take nothing out of it. Everything we have is a gift from God.
As Christian stewards we serve God out of love and gratitude for all his gifts to us, knowing that it’s not how much we have, but what we do with what we have, that is important. Sharing our financial resources with others in need is a loving and just act – a way of thanking God for all His blessings.
