Other By Appointment
What should I wear?
We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals or dress shorts. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine, too! However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be respectable and conservative.
How do I get to Saint Louis Catholic Parish?
Our parish is located at 24415 Crocker Blvd, Clinton Township, MI, 48036
Where should I park?
Parking is available next to and behind our Church. There is a large lot you can enter off of Crocker Boulevard or Ormsby Street. The smaller parking lot behind the Church building is accessed via Charbeneau Street where you will find ample handicap parking spaces.
Where do my children go?
We invite your children to participate with you in the Liturgy. We do not have a separate area for children, but the vestibule areas are available if you feel the need to step out.
I’m not Catholic, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?
There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of our parishioners. However, we do have worship aids located in each pew that provide you with the order of the mass, the postures, and the words of each prayer. If you don't see a worship aid in your pew, ask an usher and they will be happy to bring you one.
I’m not Catholic, is it okay for me to participate in Communion?
Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. Most evangelicals think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship with it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ. So, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion. However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing.
Am I expected to put money into the offering basket?
If you are visiting with us we don't expect you to put money into the offering basket and you are welcome to just pass the basket on to the next person. If you consider our parish your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis. You can give by check or cash during the service, or you can sign up for online giving here.
