Jackson Mass to Relocate to St. Mary Star of the Sea
Congratulations are in order to the Tridentine Mass Community in Jackson, Michigan. After many years in residence at the 1960s-era St. Joseph Church, the Jackson Mass will be relocating to historic St. Mary Star of the Sea Parish in downtown Jackson, effective January 5. Sunday Masses will take place at 12:15 PM. As we have reported before, St. Mary is one of our region’s most stunning and majestic Catholic Churches, maintained in pristine condition.

Pope Recommends Daily Rosary
Few prayers are as enriched with as many graces as the Holy Rosary. Our Lady has many times urged the praying of the Rosary in various apparitions. Countless Popes and theologians have recommended praying the Rosary regularly. Praying a Rosary in a church or in public or with one’s family is one of the easiest ways to gain a Plenary Indulgence, under the usual conditions. Recently our Holy Father, Pope Francis added his own support for this pious practice: On November 17, he distributed 20,000 Rosaries to the crowd in St. Peter’s Square, urging them to pray the Rosary daily and to think of it as a spiritual prescription that is “good for your heart, for your soul, for your whole life.”
Special Christmas Choral Masses
Two Masses on Christmas Day will be supported by special choral programs:
At the Midnight Mass at Detroit’s St. Joseph Church, the choir will sing Mozart’s Mass in G with chamber orchestra, Victoria’s O Magnum Mystérium, and Saint-Saëns Ave Verum. A musical prelude begins at 11:30 PM.
At the 2:00 PM Solemn High Mass of the St. Benedict Tridentine Community at Windsor’s Assumption Church, the choir will sing Michael Praetorius’ Missa a 8 and motets including Hieronymus Praetorius’ In Dulci Júbilo. Carols will begin at 1:30 PM.
