SAGINAW — The Most Rev. Joseph R. Cistone, Bishop of Saginaw, will celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption.
In the Catholic Church, Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the season of preparation for the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday.
While Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation, all Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass on this day to mark the beginning of the Lenten Season. During the Mass all are welcome to come forward to receive the ashes as a sign of repentance and mortality. The Sign of the Cross will be traced on each person’s forehead and a blessing will be said.

Catholic Conference Applauds Michigan House |

 LANSING (MCC) – Michigan Catholic Conference released the following statement this afternoon after the Michigan House of Representatives voted 67-39 to support House Resolution 185, sponsored by Representative Andrea LaFontaine (R-Richmond Township). H.R. 185 calls on the Administration to rescind the recent Health and Human Services (HHS) contraceptive mandate, highlights the Obama Administration’s attack on religious freedom, and urges Congress to pass the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act. The Resolution passed the House Government Operations Committee earlier in the day.
“Michigan Catholic Conference applauds the Michigan House of Representatives for supporting this Resolution and commends House leadership for acting to support conscience rights and the First Amendment Right to Religious Freedom. The Obama Administration’s failure to address vehement opposition from faith-based organizations that are morally opposed to including contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs in their health benefit plans is utterly unacceptable. Quite simply, the HHS contraceptive mandate must be rescinded, and the Congress is encouraged to pass conscience protections that are embedded in H.R. 1179 and S. 1467.
