St. Anne Novena Mass 2023

Ansam `Sitto on July 27, 2023

On Monday, July 24, Most Rev. Francis Y. Kalabat, Bishop of our diocese, celebrated the annual St. Anne Novena Mass at the Basilica of Ste. Anne in Detroit. Every year, the basilica celebrates a ten-day Novena event, with each day of prayer associated with a different ethnic group important to Detroit. Night seven of the novena welcomed our Chaldean community.

Following Mass, the novena to St. Anne was prayed while a statue of St. Anne was processed around the church. As always, a very big thank you to Ste. Anne de Detroit for welcoming our community each year to celebrate mass with them!

Diocese Launches Homeschool Program

Ansam `Sitto on June 20, 2023

Our Diocese, with the support of Bishop Francis Kalabat, is excited to announce the Chaldean Catholic Homeschool program. There has been an increasing demand from the families in our community to start a program through the church that will allow them to educate their children at home. The Homeschool Association Committee is excited to roll out this initiative in the Fall of 2023. The ultimate goal for this program is to eventually create a homeschool hybrid program that will launch in the Fall of 2024. 

Further,  there will be two identical information nights for parents to come and learn more!

June 20th, 2023 at 7pm at Mother of God

June 21st, 2023 at 7 pm at Holy Martyrs 

For more information about this exciting new program, please go to chaldeanchurch.org/homeschool.
