Welcoming our next pastor, Fr. Ginu Abraham!
Bishop Earl Boyea has announced that Fr. Ginu Abraham, MSFS (Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales) will become the next pastor of St. Mary Parish and School. Fr. David Fons is transferring to work as a canon lawyer in Rome for the Dicastery for Clergy at the end of June. Fr. Ginu will begin here in July.
Fr. Ginu is originally from India. He was ordained to the priesthood in 2002, and shortly thereafter, was sent to serve in the Philippine mission of the MSFS Order. During his time in the Philippines, Fr. Ginu served in a variety of roles and capacities. As the founding Parish Priest of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish, he was instrumental in the construction of both the church and the rectory. He also initiated a scholarship program for underprivileged individuals and established an Alternative Learning System for school dropouts. In addition to his pastoral duties, Fr. Ginu earned a Master of Arts in Religious Education with a specialization in Formative Counseling and Spiritual Direction.After serving in the Philippines for 19 years, Fr. Ginu moved to the Diocese of Lansing in 2021. From 2021 to August 2024, he was assigned to Sacred Heart Parish in Hudson, Michigan, where he worked alongside Fr. Todd Koenigsknecht. In August 2024, he was appointed as Parochial Vicar at both St. Robert Bellarmine Parish in Flushing, and Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Montrose, Michigan, where he continues to serve and support the local community. Learn more about Fr. Ginu here.Please pray especially for Fr. Fons and for Fr. Ginu throughout this transition. May they be blessed!

The Diocese of Lansing highlights our renovations
The Diocese of Lansing did a feature interview with Kari Edwards, our director of development and special projects, about the beautifications in our church. She describes the theological, artistic, and practical considerations that went into our renovations. Enjoy:
"Beauty is a key to the mystery and a call to transcendence ... it stirs that hidden nostalgia for God," Pope Saint John Paul II, Letter to Artists, Easter Sunday 1999. You are invited in this video to take a tour of Saint Mary in Williamston, Michigan, led by Kari Edwards, Director of Development & Special Projects.
"The beautiful cathedrals that people visit in Europe were built over generations, they didn't have project start and end dates, the faithful were always building and working towards creating more beauty," explains Kari, "And so we wanted to continue the work that was begun here in 1985 when the church was built."
