STUDENT PARISH

CATHOLIC CAMPUS MINISTRY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

BEING CHALDEAN By a Student Parishioner Being Chaldean is one of the most fulfilling parts of my en‐ re life. Being part of a community lets you experience things that people experience all over the world.

Within the Chaldean community, there is a strong emphasis on family, unity, and solidarity. This close-knit bond fosters a profound sense of support and mutual respect among peers, crea ng a network of rela onships akin to an extend‐ ed family.

Chaldean people are a minority Catholic group origina ng from Iraq. This shared religious iden ty not only strengthens the community's spiritual founda on but also serves as a unifying force that brings people together.

Through religious gatherings, prayers, and celebra ons, Chaldeans forge deep connec ons with one another, rein‐ forcing their sense of belonging and shared purpose. You are able to have a close sense of family and brotherhood among your peers.

Food is another integral part of Chaldean culture, serving as a means of bringing people together and celebra ng shared heritage.

Moreover, being Chaldean means cherishing and preserving cultural tradi ons passed down through genera ons. From language and music to dance and storytelling, these tradi‐

ons serve as a link to the past and a source of iden ty and pride for Chaldeans worldwide.

By ac vely par cipa ng in cultural events and ac vi es, Chaldeans reaffirm their commitment to preserving their heritage and passing it on to future genera ons. Whether it's gathering for a tradi onal meal with family or sharing recipes and cooking ps with friends, food acts as a bridge that connects Chaldeans to their cultural roots and fosters a sense of community and togetherness. You are able to share religion and food and ways of life. You are able to join groups of people in your school to connect over such es.

Overall, being Chaldean encompasses a rich tapestry of ex‐ periences, values, and tradi ons that contribute to a strong sense of iden ty and community. It's a source of pride, resil‐ ience, and belonging that enriches the lives of individuals and strengthens the bonds that unite Chaldeans worldwide.

St. Mary hosts a monthly Chaldean Mass which is open to all resident and student parishioners. We honor the culture and tradi ons of our Arab American parishioners this month, which is celebrated across the U.S. as Arab American Heritage Month and as Chaldean American Month in the State of Michigan.

PARISH MISSION STATEMENT St. Mary Student Parish is a welcoming, inclusive, caring, and diverse Catholic community, uniting residents and students.

We are Christ-centered with the Eucharist as the source of holiness in our vibrant liturgical life.

Inspired by Ignatian spirituality, we live a faith that does justice, reaching out to the marginalized.

As an apostolic parish, we are committed to ongoing formation of Christian witness, discipleship, and leadership.

HAITI EMPOWERMENT MEETING SUNDAY , MAY 19 AT 11:00 AM

In 2010, Hai sustained a devasta ng 7.0 earthquake that resulted in the death of an es mated 300,000 people.

That year an Interna onal Samaritan group traveled to Hai to listen, learn, and serve the community of Port au Prince.

Parishioner Mary Wakefield, a member of that group, was deeply impacted by the experience, especially her me at Jakmel Ekspresyon Culture Center. This cultural and commu‐ nity center empowers youth through classes, job skills, and educa onal opportuni es.

Join Mary Wakefield and founder of the Center, Susan Frame, on Sunday, May 19 from 11am-12pm in Donnelly Hall for a presenta on to learn more about the work of Jakmel Ekspresyon Culture Center and how life out of destruc on is happening, and how we can be part of this brighter future.

THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you to those who dropped off food last weekend for the Salva on Army and Food Gatherers. With help from people in the Miller-Dexter neighborhood, we were able to generate two-thirds of a ton of food for those in need. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

7:00 PM ON THE 1ST AND 3RD TUESDAY OF THE MONTH Mee ngs are private and confiden al. As a diverse community of believers, we respect each person as a unique reflec on of God's presence in our midst. We commit ourselves to being a community of care, support, forma on, reconcilia on, and wit‐ ness to jus ce with and among gay and lesbian persons, par‐ ents, family members, and friends. We provide a safe space for discussion, healing, and prayer.

Jesus is the “cornerstone rejected by the builders which has become the cornerstone.” He is the good shepherd who laid down his life for us. Through his paschal mystery we have become children of God.

PLEASE THANK OUR SPONSORS!

Saul witnesses the risen Jesus and boldly proclaims his Lordship. We proclaim our belief in Jesus by our love for one another. He is the vine and we the branches. Together let us praise his name in our assembly of worship.
