Dear Parishioners:
The first steps of our diocesan planning process are well under way. We are one of the first three deaneries that have been chosen to initiate this process. Last week there was a meeting of our deanery (which roughly consists of Ottawa County) held at St. Mary’s, Marne. The Meitler Consultants presented to representatives of our parishes and schools the preliminary results of the initial meetings of pastors, principals and parish leaders. They also have collected some data about the area parishes and schools. We had the opportunity to discuss some trends and their implications for our parish life.

Free* Electronics Recycling Event Sponsored by St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church and West Michigan Creation Care!
In cooperation with local e-Waste recycler Comprenew Environmental, a division of Worldwide Christian Schools, St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church and the West Michigan Creation Care Team are hosting a free e-waste drop-off event at the St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church parking lot at 195 W. 13th Street on Saturday, November 7 from 9:00am to 12:00 Noon.
WHY?

Comprenew’s mission is to inspire our community to live and work in a sustainable manner. Together with St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church and West Michigan Creation Care, Comprenew is offering you a convenient way to do your part by recycling your electronics on Saturday, November 7th.

It is with sadness that I announce to you that Fr. William Perez will be leaving us. His Bishop has called him back to his Diocese in Colombia.
Fr. William will be missed by many; he has generously shared his gifts providing theological, scripture and spiritual formation to many individuals and groups in the Hispanic community.
I am very grateful for the support and pastoral care he has provided to our parish and St. Anthony in Robinson Township in the two and half years he has been with us.
Let us send Fr. William with our prayers that God continues to bless him in his priestly ministry.
Peace,
Fr. Charlie Brown
