Below are a few of our regular ongoing events. Visit Our Calendar for details on all of our upcoming events.
Frassati Holy Hour & Coffee House
3rd Friday every Month, 7:30-10:00 PM
National Shrine of the Little Flower (NEW LOCATION!)
Starting February 2010, this event has moved to The National Shrine of the Little Flower located at the Northeast corner of Woodward and 12 Mile in Royal Oak. Join us for an hour of praise, worship, readings and reflection before the Blessed Sacrament, followed by a social hour with live music and coffee. The Holy Hour takes place in the St. Therese Chapel (accessible through the main church). Afterwards, the coffeehouse will be held in the Conference Center in the strip mall just north of the church. Doors open at 7:30 PM. Holy Hour begins at 8:00 PM.
Leadership Mass & Breakfast
Thursday Morning 6:30 AM Mass at the Shrine
followed by Breakfast
A great way to start your day! Join some of the Frassati Leadership Team bright & early with Mass at the Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak. We sit toward the front in the section just left of the main church entrance that faces Woodward. After mass, walk across the street to IHOP for some pancakes and conversation. This is your chance to learn more about Pier Giorgio, our leadership team, and to give your input and help shape the future of the Frassati Society.
Frassati Men's Group
1st & 3rd Saturdays every Month 10 AM - 12 PM
Are you looking for a way to draw closer to God and your Catholic brothers? Then consider joining the Frassati Men's Fellowship. We offer men a welcoming setting in which we pray, share our faith, and discuss a Catholic-themed book (our current book is Be A Man by Fr. Larry Richards). Each meeting is approximately two hours long. This group is open to all men, both single and married. If you are interested, please contact Matthew at agapitus99@yahoo.com.
Frassati Women's Group
The new Frassati Society Women's Group meets at Theresa Spranger's house in Southfield. The group continues to focus on issues of spirituality, service, and fellowship and we welcome your ideas for activities and discussions! For more information about this group, contact Theresa at Theresa.Spranger@gmail.com
Please make sure to email Theresa to RSVP. Space is limited.
"We, who by the grace of God are Catholics must not squander the best years of our lives as so many unhappy young people do, who worry about enjoying the good things in life, things that do not in fact bring any good, but rather the fruit of immorality in today's world. We must prepare ourselves to be ready and able to handle the struggles we will have to endure to fulfill our program and give our country, in the not too distant future, happier days and a morally healthy society, but to achieve this we need constant prayer to obtain from God that grace without which all our prayers are useless; organization and discipline to be ready for action at the right time; and finally, the sacrifice of our passion and of ourselves, because without that we cannot achieve our aim.”
-Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, Turin, Italy, 1922
