Transfiguration Parish has come to a
significant point in its history.
In July
of this year, we will merge with two
other
neighboring churches and become one new
parish.
We are
at the point of selecting a new name for
our parish.
The
members of all three churches are
praying to the Holy Spirit
for
guidance. It will be interesting what
the name will emerge
when
this part of the process is completed.
This
merger has shown all of us that life is
temporary.
Nothing
remains the same for long, nor, can we
hold on to buildings and property that
are meaningful to us.
The
churches in this area served the Polish
community. They have many beautify
religious works of art that people still
can appreciate and treasure. But, they
are still material objects that come and
go.
Rather,
it is the love of Christ that remains
forever.
And it
is around this love that we build and
decorate our parishes
and
celebrate our Sacraments and the
Sacrifice of Christ in the Mass.
We
work to preserve what past generations
have bequeathed to us, but we must learn
to relinquish what we cannot, or should
not be sustaining. That is why we three
churches are becoming one parish.
The
people of St. Ladislaus in Hamtramck,
St. Louis the King in
Detroit
and Transfiguration-OLCH are committed
to keeping this parish open and viable,
and invite you to see and appreciate
what
we have
had here for so many years.
May
Christ's peace be in your hearts and the
protection
of the
Blessed Mother help you face your
challenges in life with trust in her
Son.
Please
feel free to look over the information
on this site,
and
contact us if you have any
questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Rev.
Andrew Wesley, Pastor
Transfiguration-Our Lady Help of
