Clawson High School will be hosting its annual day of service event with the Berkley and Royal Oak school districts and cities in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 19. A volunteer sorts through donations for those in need at last year’s MLK day of service event at Berkley High School.

ROYAL OAK — Well-known priest Leo Patalinghug will be visiting the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Royal Oak to inspire people during his two-day parish mission at 7 p.m. Jan 19 and 20. The mission is free to attend. Patalinghug is an author, chef, TV show host

and priest who is known for his ability to connect food and faith with his award-winning cooking, best-selling books and unique style of spreading the message of faith. “I am an atypical priest because I am on TV cooking. I was a breakdancer, I’ve got two thirddegree black belts in the martial arts, so the next logical step is priesthood,” Patalinghug said in a See PRIEST on page 16A

Stagecrafters to showcase lesser-known comedy show BY TAYLOR CHRISTENSEN tchristensen@candgnews.com

ROYAL OAK — Stagecrafters is bringing to the second stage a special and unique story titled “5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche” Jan. 16-25 at the Baldwin Theatre, 415 S. Lafayette Ave. The story takes place in 1956, focusing on the five women of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein, who are having their annual quiche breakfast. The story goes on to follow the journey of the five women, all while dealing with the risk of an atomic bomb being dropped at any second. See QUICHE on page 9A

Royal Oak Library’s Friends book shop gives back in big ways BY TAYLOR CHRISTENSEN tchristensen@candgnews.com

ROYAL OAK — Located in the Royal Oak Public Library is a small but mighty bookstore dedicated to raising money for library programs. The Friends Shop includes a large variety of books including children’s books, DVDs, and games that

are priced at 50 cents or a dollar. All of the proceeds from sales go directly to the library. Books are available for purchase on the first floor inside the Friends Shop or on the shelves located outside the shop. There is also a children’s section of buyable books located in the children’s area of the library. Yvonne Busby-Dean, member of the Friends volunteer board and

book shop manager, said that their goal is to spread awareness about the bookshop, and hopefully bring in more customers. Busby-Dean said that the bookstore is open all the time, which is new this year. Even if there is not a volunteer at the desk in the Friends Shop, people can still purchase books at the library front desk. See BOOK SHOP on page 13A

The secrets to their success NEW BUSINESS OWNERS TALK ABOUT PLANNING, GROWTH AFTER YEAR ONE

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

W

hen starting a business, entrepreneurs think about all aspects that will make it successful: daily operations, building a customer base, hiring employees, managing cash flow, city zoning ordinances and much more. After navigating over the hurdles, making it through the first year feels like a milestone.

‘The biggest challenge has been getting the word out’

Bricks & Minifigs Novi, located at 49881 Grand River Ave., in Wixom, opened Sept. 21, 2024. In that first year, the store owners learned a lot about what worked and what improvements can be made. “I think what got us through is our positive attitude and amazing customers,” said Cara Suksi, who created the store with her husband Kevin. “We have so many repeat customers. They’re so supportive. They take part in some of our events we’ve done. It’s hard to walk in our store and not have a huge smile on your face.” Bricks & Minifigs Novi is every Lego fan’s dream.

“We sell everything Legos. We sell new and boxed Legos. We sell bulk Legos including bins,” Cara said. “Legos are made well. They don’t lose their value. They always fit together.” The Suksis own Bricks & Minifigs Novi with two other partners: Cathy Drapeau, who is Cara Suksi’s mother, and Sean Krabach. Everyone took on different roles to make the store a success. Kevin, who still works his full-time job outside the family business, takes care of the finances for Bricks & Minifigs Novi and assists with the inventory. Cara handles the marketing, events and birthday parties. Krabach is responsible for the inventory, and Drapeau was put in charge of human resources. Cara and Kevin’s teenage son Jack also helps out, along with a group of dedicated staff members. Kevin always had an interest in Legos. Cara said he’d buy and sell them online, and one day suggested they open up their own Lego store. Along with sales, Bricks & Minifigs Novi buys and trades all Lego products. Because of Kevin’s hobby, the Suksi already had a lot of inventory to stock the store. It was a long process to open the business. The Suksis traveled out of state to meet See BUSINESS on page 15A

at Clawson High School this year. In past years, the event rotated through the Berkley and Royal Oak school districts, so there is sure to be fresh energy and a chance to pull in neighbors who might have not joined in the festivities before. “Clawson has been a part of the MLK Day of Service for a few years now; this is simply the first time they are serving as the host city,” said Judy Davids, city of Royal Oak community engagement specialist. “We expect attendees to feel the same spirit of purpose that has defined the event for the past nine years, dating back to its beginning in 2017.” Clawson Public Schools Superintendent Billy Shellenbarger said organizers love being able to put a spotlight on Martin Luther King Jr. and this event. “The one thing we talk about a lot with our leaders, specifically at the high school level, is servant leadership, which is unique. Being a servant leader is serving others and essentially expecting nothing in return, which can be hard to do in today’s society … with the, oftentimes, the need and the receiving of that instant gratification to an extent,” he said.

“For example, we’ll be making things and preparing things for people who have different needs, and we’ll never know who those recipients are. All we’ll know is that we did it and we can go home, put our head on our pillow and know that we served someone today. It did something great, and that is servant leadership. So, that resonates with our students for sure,” Shellenbarger continued. The event will kick off at 9:40 a.m. with a freedom walk and donation drive starting at Clawson High School. Shellenbarger has been most excited for the walk, as it has been canceled for the last two years due to inclement weather. “We have our fingers crossed that we will be able to partake in the freedom walk in Clawson, walk our streets and really show that unity as we serve Dr. King’s legacy,” he said. “We are really excited and optimistic that this is going to be the year where we really get to enjoy ourselves together as we walk the streets.” At 10:15 a.m. service projects will begin at the high school. The service projects include making blankets, a community art project, sorting donations, making cards and more. “Making blankets, sorting donations, creating community art, walking together in

age, unity and justice. The project will consist of five panels featuring vibrant snowflake-like shapes that will be individually painted by volunteers of all ages. The shapes will be placed against panels designed to resemble the night sky, Davids said. At the center of the mural is the featured Martin Luther King Jr. quote, “Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” “I believe that murals bring light and hope. Inspirational words and images remind us that we are stronger than we feel. Our mission (at the Welcome Inn) is that we are able to meet basic needs of those experiencing homelessness but do it while helping them to remember they are human,” Executive Director of the Welcome Inn Heather Duenas said. “So often those that are unhoused are treated less than. They are then filled with shame and guilt. We allow a safe space for individuals to feel welcome. The mural is one very big step in the direction of creating that warm, welcoming environment.” Duenas hopes that through the mural the Welcome Inn can become a beacon for hope and warmth for those who might need it. “Being homeless for a period of my life, See MLK on page 16A

the freedom march, that’s when people really connect to why we are here,” Davids said. “It’s one thing to say you honor MLK; it’s another to serve with your hands and heart alongside your neighbors.” Berkley School District Director of Communications Jessica Stilger said she thinks it’s great all three school districts are committed to keeping diversity, equity and inclusion at the forefront of the schools to “create an environment where staff, students and community members feel a sense of belonging.” “You can really feel that on MLK Day for this event,” she said. “That sense of belonging, people coming together for a greater purpose and really working on working together in a really inclusive way.” New to this year will be a community art project where volunteers will be painting a mural at the Welcome Inn, 1717 W. 13 Mile Road in Royal Oak.

Director Marcus Laban said that the show became a special part of his life after he saw it at the Ringwald Theatre in Ferndale pre-pandemic. “I really just love how this is an unknown show, and I tend to like the off-the-beaten-path shows, so I am very happy Stagecrafters allowed me to do the show,” he said. “It’s a show about these five women being stuck at this place (the meeting) and basically discovering who they are, and being OK with who they are.” Laban said there are a lot of twists and turns throughout the show, and a lot of hilarious moments. “It’s kind of an empowerment piece, of being like, it’s OK to be who you are, and even though it’s just five ladies on stage, I think it resonates to basically anybody of that theme of self-discovery,” he said.

What the ladies are finding out throughout the duration of the play is about their sexuality, according to Laban, and as different events happen, the ladies begin to realize that they are lesbian. Laban said that the lighthearted nature of the show brings a break to the day-to-day life that people are currently living. The show is a short pick-me-up piece that all can enjoy, he said. “We kind of live in a time right now where I think everyone is always on edge, and we could all use a little laughter,” he said. “It’s an hour and 15 minutes of just joy to escape from reality and have some fun and relax. … It’s not a well-known show by any means, but it should be, because it’s a great show.” The fact that this show is not well known is one of the main reasons Laban said that people should see it. “It’s a new piece of theater people can experience, not the same old, same old,” he said. “I think it has a great message and a great message lying underneath the comedy, and the comedy elevates that message.”

Rachel Biber, who plays a character named Wren Robin, said that she knew this show existed but had never seen it prior to auditioning. “Coming to see shows that aren’t big shows that everybody knows of is what supports our community theaters,” she said. “Going to see these shows really can broaden your spectrum of what you watch and what you go and see. This is a very funny show, and if you go with a completely open mind, you’re gonna laugh and you’re going to enjoy it.” Biber said she hopes the audience can take away the message of accepting who you are. “Through the whole silliness of it, the whole point of the show is to be honest with yourself and each other, and be your truest self,” Biber said. “Even though it’s obviously goofy, it does have a very sweet message to be honest with yourself and each other about who you are.” On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, tickets cost $25 plus a $3 ticket fee.

TEN TIPS CAN HELP KEEP A HOME SAFE DURING THE WINTER MONTHS BY TAYLOR CHRISTENSEN

tchristensen@candgnews.com

A

AA is reminding homeowners of how essential it is to stay proactive on maintenance during the winter cold, and it shared 10 tasks to help people stay prepared and safe during this time. “Winter maintenance is the most effective way to prevent costly damage and provide peace of mind,” Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman for AAA — The Auto Club Group, said in a press release. “Taking time now to prepare can prevent extensive repairs and keep your family safe when winter storms hit.” AAA’s first task for winter readiness is to protect pipes from freezing. The press release says that people should disconnect garden hoses, shut off exterior valves, and insulate exposed pipes to prevent bursts. The second tip is to clear gutters and downspouts. Removing debris from the gutters and downspouts prevents ice dams and foundation damage. People should also schedule chimney cleaning to reduce fire and carbon monoxide risks. AAA recommends annual inspections and urges proper woodburning practices. Another major tip presented by AAA is to prevent slip and fall accidents by shoveling snow promptly, using de-icer and maintaining well-lit walkways. The fifth task is to inspect roofs and flashing and to repair damaged shingles and clear debris to prevent leaks. Testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors regularly is another tip. AAA says people should replace batteries and outdated units.

Detroit Auto Show brings new, returning experiences to Huntington Place this month DETROIT — Engines, innovation and interactive experiences will return this month as the Detroit Auto Show takes over Huntington Place. This year, among multiple interactive exhibits, the auto show is introducing the Visit Detroit Interactive Experience, an immersive, family-friendly showcase located in the atrium of Huntington Place. A press release from organizers of the auto show states that the exhibit is aimed at sparking curiosity, creativity and career inspiration for the next generation of automotive and mobility leaders. “Serving as a high-energy and family-fun gateway into the show, the new atrium activation reflects Detroit’s role as a global hub for mobility, technology and innovation — while intentionally creating hands-on entry points for young people to see themselves in the fu-

ture of the auto industry,” the release states. According to the release, the exhibit offers guests of all ages an opportunity to explore real-world science and engineering concepts, hands-on coding and problem-solving, augmented and virtual reality-based technician training and more. Additionally, children will be able to experience the Jeep and Ram Power Wheels track, which the release states “offers a thrilling, age-appropriate first connection to vehicles and mobility.” Todd Szott, the 2026 Detroit Auto Show chairperson, said the exhibit is about inspiring kids. “We want kids and students to walk in, get their hands on technology, feel the excitement of innovation and start to imagine themselves as engineers, designers, coders, technicians or entrepreneurs,” he said in a statement. “If we can inspire even a fraction of them to explore a future in the auto industry, that’s a win for Detroit and for the industry as a whole.”

Royal Oak police and fire bring the holiday magic to local kids ROYAL OAK — Almost 100 Royal Oak kids and families had a magical holiday season following the biggest Shop With a Hero event yet on Dec. 18 at Meijer, 5150 Coolidge Highway. Chief Michael Moore, of the Royal Oak Police Department, said that officers from Birmingham, Clawson and Ferndale all had to join in to help shop for gifts because of the large turnout.

The seventh task is to monitor for ice dams and heavy snow, and to remove the excess snow and ice buildup to prevent damage. Homeowners should be sure to maintain heating systems by cleaning dryer vents, changing furnace filters, and scheduling annual tuneups for safety and efficiency. One of the most important tasks to be aware of is to maintain heat in your home, according to Woodland. Homeowners should be aware to not let the pipes freeze while they are away, always maintaining a thermostat between 55 degrees and 60 degrees to prevent frozen pipes. Dropping below 55 degrees might cause the pipes to burst. “One of the most important things you know for a homeowner particularly this time of year is to maintain a certain level of heat in their home to prevent frozen pipes,” Woodland said. “Especially if they are going to be away. Because with pipes bursting, the amount of damage really can vary depending on how long it is. It takes a while before you discover that issue has occurred.” The 10th suggestion is, if the furnace fails and one cannot turn off the water to the home, let the faucets drip to prevent pipes from freezing. The press release says to open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate near pipes. “These tips are really important to make sure that your home will be ready for winter and the different perils that can come with the wintertime,” Woodland said. Lee Deel, owner of Briarwood Heating and Cooling in Rochester Hills, said that checking your furnace regularly throughout the winter is essential to spotting cracks and problems. Deel says it’s essential for all homes to have a carbon monoxide detector, because if a furnace goes off and then turns around and comes right back on within a certain amount of seconds, there is something wrong, and there is a risk of carbon monoxide getting into the home.

“We shopped for nearly 100 kids. It was a great turnout,” Moore said. “Not only was it Royal Oak police and firefighters, but our neighboring public safety departments had to come in and help because there were so many kids to shop for.” The Shop With a Hero event is an event put on by the Royal Oak Civic Foundation in a partnership with Meijer. Each child in attendance received a $100 gift card and was paired with a hero, who was there to help them shop for whatever they wanted for Christmas. Royal Oak Civic Foundation Chair Tom McGannon

“We are finding cracks in the heat exchangers, which are there to keep the carbon monoxide out of the air that you breathe, and we are seeing more cracks,” he said. “But just because you have a crack doesn’t mean it’s leaking carbon monoxide; it just means that there is a risk of it. Once we see a crack, there is too much liability to just ignore it. Even if it’s only a hairline crack, as a heating and cooling company, we have to fix it.” Deel said that the first thing people should do when they find a problem in the furnace is to call and have it checked by a trained eye. “First check, clean and change your filter. We use thermometers to check what we call the temperature rise, and if it’s not within the range that the manufacturer wants, it’s going to crack,” he said. “The biggest thing is to have the furnace running in the temperature range that the manufacturer wants. And if you don’t change your filter, the furnace will overheat; it’s going to crack the metal.” There are furnaces now that provide the homeowner with a smart thermostat feature, which Deel said can be checked at any time. So, while away on vacation, it’s important to keep an eye on that. Woodland suggested that homeowners review their insurance policies on their home to make sure they have the best coverage for them during the winter months. “It’s best to contact and speak with a trusted insurance agent to go over your different options, and in that meeting with the agent, it’s really important to share things like your home is on a body of water, because that can definitely make a difference in terms of risk and things like that,” she said. “They are going to ask a variety of different questions about your home, and providing them with all of that information is the best way to help them come up with the right policy for you and your home.” For more information on AAA and tips, visit aaa.com.

said that the ROCF donates approximately $6,000 to the program that it raises throughout the year. Meijer then price matches and donates that amount as well. “The civic foundation raises funds throughout the year for this, so it’s a really great event and we have a lot of the foundation members there,” McGannon said. “They are all volunteers from the community, and a few of us got to help out with the shopping because there were so many kids.” McGannon said that the Royal Oak Civic Foundation hosts many different events to support the community, but See HOLIDAY on page 14A

CRIME WATCH Car stolen

ROYAL OAK — A complainant reported that between 8 a.m. Dec. 28 and 7:30 a.m. Dec. 29, an unknown person stole the complainant’s vehicle from the complainant’s driveway in the 200 block of Curry Avenue, north of 11 Mile Road.

Package taken

ROYAL OAK — A complainant reported that at 8:30 p.m. Dec. 22, an unknown person stole a package from the complainant’s front porch in the 2500 block of Samoset Road, in the area of 14 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway.

Person shoplifts steaks

ROYAL OAK — A complainant reported that between 2:08 p.m. and 2:20 p.m. Dec. 26, an unknown person stole several steaks from a meat display at Holiday Market, 1203 S. Main St.

ROYAL OAK — A complainant reported that at 2:50 a.m. Dec. 15, an unknown person stole two cases of energy drinks from the 7-Eleven at 1620 E. 13 Mile Road. — Taylor Christensen

“We have an automatic light system, so it goes dark in here, so the idea to have this sign outside of the store is to let people know that if they just step in, the light goes back up,” she said. “It was kind of confusing people and putting them off that the light was off in here.” The bookstore has seen a significant increase in sales over the past few years, according to Friends board President Larry Baker. “During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, which ended Aug. 31, the Friends spent $22,666.30 supporting the library materials (including Libby Overdrive materials), multiple programs for all ages, outdoor musical instruments, and ice cream for the summer reading program,” Baker said via email. “Thanks to a solid year for us, we are increasing our funding to the library to $33,000 for the new fiscal year.” Connie Ewalt, a member of the Friends board and a volunteer at the Friends Shop, said that the majority of the growth can be attributed to the in-

crease of social media advertising. “We have some younger librarians that are really enthusiastic and they are very adept at social media advertising,” Ewalt said. “Last year, one of the staff put out tons of information about a book sale that we had, and two different organizations drove out to participate.” In August, the Friends Shop hosts a book drive for teachers, which always has a good turnout, according to Ewalt. “The teachers come from all over, even downriver and out in South Lyon,” she said. “There were almost 100 teachers, and we gave away around 2,000 books. A lot of the teachers come from Detroit, where they don’t have their own libraries, so this is a way they can fill their own classrooms up.” The store also sells T-shirts, making $1,620 in sales, according to Baker. One of the shirts has a graphic saying “I’m with the Banned” and the other shirt is a Pride shirt. Each shirt costs $20. “We have become really community focused, very community oriented in the last several years,” Baker said. “You know, we have the teacher giveaways that we have every year, we donate books to prisons, to Little Free Libraries around the area. We have several special groups that

we support in the summers; we support senior centers.” Library Director Sandy Irwin said that the Friends Shop is a major help to the library’s programs, and the volunteers do a lot of work to keep it all running smoothly. “The Friends are so supportive of everything that the library does and what we need. Everything they do is for the library; it’s such a strong volunteer group,” Irwin said. “They help us in a variety of ways, and they have generally helped us with programs, but they help us a lot with the purchasing of e-books that are growing in demand for our library.” Between donations and sales in the shop, the Friends have generated a total revenue of $41,153.32, in the fiscal year 2024-2025, an increase of nearly $4,800, according to Baker. “We are looking forward to another year of contributing to this Royal Oak community of ours and to lending our support to and making more money for our library,” he said.

this one is exceptional and continues to get bigger each year. “This one, (Shop With a Hero) is particularly special because it brings together so many elements of our community. It’s our local schools, it’s our police and firefighters and first responders, it’s the Meijer corporation, so it’s a one plus one equals three,” he said. “To see the actual impact on the kids’ lives is unmatched. … Everyone feels very passionate to be a part of this program.” Moore said that working with the kids and seeing his officers participate in the fun is always a memorable experience. “It’s obvious that there are people struggling right now.

with the Lego CEO and founder. They also completed a week of training. They were required to give a presentation as to why they wanted to own such a business and also spent a few days working in the company’s flagship store. “It was pretty intense,” Cara said. “It’s a risk. The biggest challenge has been getting the word out. People are still finding us for the first time. Every market is different. What sells in one market may not sell in another market.” The owners continue to come up with new ideas as the business grows. Bricks & Minifigs Novi, for instance, will participate in National Lego Day on Jan. 28. Cara suggests customers check on the store’s social media pages — Facebook, X and Instagram — for updates. “Star Wars” is probably the biggest seller. The botanical flower themes, superheroes, “Lord of the Rings” and Friends sets also are popular. Cara said that many people come in to build their own creations or sometimes find missing pieces from a set they already own.

‘I knew I had to keep going’

In the summer of 2025, Mariah Moore fulfilled a longtime ambition of opening up her own business called EverCare Home Health. The virtual office is located in Bloomfield Hills and provides home health care services throughout metro Detroit. Moore always had an interest in helping others. She started caregiving when attending Ferris State University. After graduating from college in 2011, she worked for Child Protective Services in Michigan but also continued with caregiving on the side. At first it was to make extra money, but then Moore discovered how much she enjoyed working as a caregiver. “I worked for different agencies in metro Detroit,” Moore said. “I knew I loved it.” She eventually left CPS. In 2023, the budding entrepreneur decided it was time to open up her own home health care business. She wasn’t sure how to get started but met a mentor who offered a number of tips to help in the beginning. Moore paid attention to every detail to make sure she was on the right path to opening EverCare Home Health. “She taught me how to do it from beginning to end,” Moore said. “She went over everything with me.” That included putting together a business plan, setting policies and procedures, and registering as an LLC business. EverCare Home

Health offers a number of nonmedical services including dressing, bathing, companionship, light housekeeping, and transportation for doctor’s appointments and running errands. Currently, Moore has 10 caregivers on staff and four clients. One strategy Moore uses to find new clients is to pay a company for referral leads. “The most challenging part was finding clients in the beginning. No one was calling. It was disappointing,” she said. “I knew I had to keep going. It took about two months to find my first client. It seemed like it was never going to happen.” Moore makes sure to get to know the clients and their families to find out what the needs are. Some clients receive short-term care while others need long-term care. One client is receiving care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “I stay involved so families feel comfortable contacting me,” she said. “We have to make sure the caregivers are reliable.” While Moore is “glad my company is a little bit smaller,” she does have plans to expand in the future. She would like to add more 24/7 clients and offer medical care. She knows the hard work involved in operating her own business, and she is willing to put in the time. “I want to continue to grow, and I still want to be able to have good relationships with

Well, I think it’s because I’m not afraid of who I am, and I’m not afraid of who you are, which is why I want to feed you.” Patalinghug is clearly busy; he was also featured on the show “Throw Down with Bobby Flay,” where he won the cooking challenge. “After winning that challenge, I felt God wanted me to promote a theology of food in which I could talk about the Eucharist to people while they are at dinner. After all, Jesus in the Eucharist is the bread of life,” he said in a press release from Shrine. The priest is also the founder of Plating Grace, an international food and faith movement whose mission is to build relationships and strengthen families and communities through food, according to the press release. Plating Grace reportedly reaches thousands of people around the world. Judy Maten, chair of Shrine’s

Centennial Committee and the Adult Faith Formation team, said that they organized Patalinghug’s visit as a part of the parish’s centennial celebration. “We invited Father Leo as his message of building strong families and communities of faith by gathering around the table, whether the family dinner table or altar, are foundational to building strong relationships throughout life,” Maten said. Patalinghug will be sharing a dynamic message that will inspire all who attend, according to Maten. “Father Leo’s mission is to bring about a future of stronger families, closer relationships and a deeper understanding of Jesus as food for our mind, body and soul,” Maten said. “It is our hope that this message will inspire parents as they strive to build strong relationships within their families as well as challenge communities of faith to explore how they can build strong relationships between individual members, families and groups within the parish.” In Patalinghug’s promotional video, he says that his mission is to connect deeply with the people he interacts with in a spiritual way.

been seen in the industry towards vehicles that are “built for more than just getting from Point A to point B.” “Michigan Overland Adventure taps directly into that momentum. It reflects how automakers – especially those with deep roots here in Detroit – are responding to consumer demand for capability, authenticity and vehicles that can take people further, whether that’s up north, off the grid or off the beaten path,” he said in a statement. According to the press release, besides featuring vehicles from Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Jeep, Ram, Toyota, INEOS, Subaru and American Expedition Vehicles, the exhibit will also feature rooftop tents, off-road

“Just because I am a religious figure, that doesn’t mean that there is a wall between us, and that’s why I take my job very seriously,” he said in the video. “I am here to build bridges, one plate of grace at a time.” Maten hopes that Patalinghug’s visit can teach those in attendance to continue to help those around them. “Father Leo’s varied background speaks to the fact that anyone can play a major role in helping others know their dignity and how much God loves them,” she said. “A better world begins within the hearts of each and every one of us. We hope people leave inspired and pondering how they can work to build strong relationships within their families, with co-workers, neighbors and those within their community of faith.” Patalinghug’s books, including his cookbooks, will be available for sale following the parish mission talks on Monday and Tuesday evening. He will also be meeting people and signing books. For more information, visit shrinechurch.com. Call Staff Writer Taylor Christensen at (586) 498-1081.

smile to kids’ faces around Christmastime, and being able to put some gifts under the tree that might not be there otherwise, is exciting,” Moore said. “It’s really exciting for the police officers and the firefighters. You see them walking around with huge smiles on their faces and laughing and connecting with the community.” Moore said that the officers even had to apprehend the Grinch a few times as he tried to steal away gifts from the grocery carts. “A couple of times we had to step in when the Grinch would take a toy out of a shopping cart and walk away quickly, and we would have to go and get him to take the toys back,” he said. “The kids thought that was pretty funny.” The event would not be possible without donations from community members and surrounding businesses, according to McGannon, who said that every donation is one that counts. “The Royal Oak Civic Foundation has been growing exponentially over the last few years, and with the great support from the Royal Oak City Commission, we are really addressing some great community needs and establishing some pretty important community traditions as well, too,” he said. “We are really trying to give these families a really, really great experience. And it’s really uplifting. You can see it; you can feel it.” For more information on the Royal Oak Civic Foundation, visit royaloakcivicfoundation.org.
