This weekend we celebrate Labor Day. It is a day dedicated to the social
and economic achievements of American workers: an annual tribute paid
to all workers for their contribution in making the country a better place in
which to live and work.�
�
Labor’s Day originated over a hundred years ago. Democratic President
Grover Cleveland signed it into law. Samuel Gompers, one of America’s
great union leaders, called it “the day for which the toilers in past centuries
looked forward when their rights and wrongs would be discussed, that the
workers of our day may not only lay down their tools of labor for a holiday,
but upon which they may touch shoulders and march in phalanx and feel
the stronger for it.” And it was a celebration of people who worked � a �
celebration of labor, of toil, of human effort, of energy � and the union
movement created it, stood for it and represented this. On Labor Day we
should honor our accomplishments. We should show our appreciation to
the ones that have provided for us over time; to thank them for their care
and concern for us and for their hard work and commitment to their family. �
�
On this Labor Day let us pray: �
�� For our brothers and sisters who have lost their jobs and are trying to
seek gainful employment.�
�� For all workers who are displaced by technical changes or global �
pressures to relocate jobs.�
�� For all workers who cannot find work and for whom unemployment �
assistance is not available.�
�� For all who face difficulties or are discriminated against in getting work
or at the workplace because of race, gender, ethnic group, physical
disabilities, political or religious beliefs.�
�� For all workers who have been affected by labor disputes or who have
been discriminated against as a result of their union activity or �
because they sought justice in their place of employment.�
�� For workers whose work is taken for granted, is unappreciated or lacks
meaning.�
�� For families who have lost their homes and are struggling to make
ends meet.�
It is sometimes difficult to convince ourselves to do the work that we need
to do. Seeing a spiritual purpose in that work can help. The following
prayer to St. Joseph, patron of workers, helps us call to mind that all of our
labor is, in fact, part of our struggle on the road to the Kingdom of Heaven.�
�
“Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me
the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural
inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to �
employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God, �
disregarding difficulties and weariness; to work, above all, with purity of
intention and with detachment from self, having always before my eyes �
death, and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, �

A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR
Continued from page 1�
�
of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so
fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary,
all after your example, patriarch Joseph. This will
be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.”�
�
I am grateful to all of you who volunteer your �
valuable time for the good of our parish � those of
you who volunteer after a long day at work or home
� you are a blessing! �
�
The summer months are ending and I pray that your
Labor Day celebrations will affirm the workers
among you � I hope you enjoy your long holiday
with family and friends. Please remember to pray
for the unemployed and those who work in high risk
professions. �

precautions we have in place for a safe return for
our students and staff. Anyone with a college degree

We are so proud to celebrate
the first week of in�person �
instruction at Our Lady of �
Sorrows Catholic School. This
year marks the 85th Anniversary
of “educating students who �
develop spiritually, academically,
and socially.” In some ways we have seen a return to
our past. This year, to maintain social distancing in
our hallways, our students walk single�file in a large
one�way loop. They exit their classroom to the right
and follow the large loop all the way around the hall
to arrive at their destination. Our alumni will remember
this same system from our past! Other things are �
different, such as digital upgrades and small group
instruction. We thank God for Our Lady of Sorrows
Catholic School and look forward to the next 85
years! �
As our big plans to celebrate this milestone change,
please watch the bulletin, Facebook page, and �
website for updates.�
If you’d like to be part of our “school historian team”
please email our school Advancement Director,
Deidre Ratliff, at dratliff@olsorrows.com.�

This Labor Day, reflect on the
dignity of work and rights of
workers by visiting
www.usccb.org/jphd to read
the annual Labor Day state-
ment from the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops. �
�
Prayer for the Dignity of Work and �
the Rights of Workers�
Lord God, Master of the Vineyard, �
How wonderful that you have invited us �
who labor by the sweat of our brow�
to be workers in the vineyard �
and assist your work �
to shape the world around us. �
As we seek to respond to this call, �
make us attentive to those who seek work�
but cannot find it. �
Help us listen to the struggles of those �
who work hard to provide for their families �
but still have trouble making ends meet. �
Open our eyes to the struggles of those exploited
and help us speak for just wages and safe conditions,
the freedom to organize, and time for renewal. �
For work was made for humankind �
and not humankind for work. �
Let it not be a vehicle for exploitation �
but a radiant expression of our human dignity. �
Give all who labor listening hearts �
that we may pause from our work�
to receive your gift of rest. �
Fill us with your Holy Spirit �
that you might work through us �
to let your justice reign. �
Amen. �
FROM THE USCCB
Note: There will be a 7:30 AM Mass on Labor
Day, Monday, September 7. The Church will be
closed following the end of the 7:30 Mass.�

STEWARDSHIP
Back in June, the Parish Finance Council, through
its chairperson, Mark McInerny, offered an update of
how the parish was doing during the worldwide �
pandemic. This is the time of year when the PFC
provides for you the Annual Report. The report
gives you an overview of the finances and the life of
the parish during the past year. Stewardship is how
we share all of our gifts, not only through our financial
generosity, but through our prayers (especially the
Mass) and our service to one another. With the �
Annual Report we invite you to see how we have
navigated our Stewardship GPS (Generosity, Prayer,
and Service) in the 2019�2020 fiscal year.�
In the past, you would have received a copy of this
report in the mail; however, good stewards handle
resources responsibly, so in this COVID year, we
wish to share it with you electronically on our website
in order to save the cost of printing and mailing. To
view the Annual Report, go to church.olsorrows.com,
then to About Us and click on Councils and Commissions
and then Parish Finance Council. �
CSA: As our lives have been so impacted by
COVID 19, Archbishop Vigneron’s annual bishop’s
appeal, Catholic Services Appeal, did not take place
as planned in May. Instead, the Archbishop has �
deferred it to next weekend, September 12�13, 2020.�
You should have received a letter from the Archdiocese
of Detroit with an invitation to give and instructions
on how to do so. More on this next week.�
Over the summer we had a ZOOM pilot for a Called
& Gifted workshop, which is a way to find out the
special gifts God has bestowed upon you to share.
We will update you soon about how to be part of
such a workshop.�
We also held a Family Rosary in the Park each
Wednesday in July and August. We gathered, safely
socially distanced, to pray for our families, our �
parish, our country and healing from COVID 19. �
Our average attendance was 40�45 people each
week. Thank you to all who participated and led the
decades! Please continue to offer prayers for these
intentions.�
This Labor Day weekend, let us particularly remember
the workers of our nation and those without work.�
Sharon Williams, Director of Parish Life & Stewardship�
Saints Among Us�
We continue to receive nomi-
nations which acknowledge the
wonderful and selfless people
in the parish who work behind
the scenes on our behalf. This week’s saint is:�
Mrs. Jan Ratliff�
Jan has been a parishioner
since she was a child (her
maiden name is Trevisan) and
has been very active in many
ways in the life of the parish.
She and her husband, Brian,
have been marriage mentors
for engaged couples and �
sacristans for the weekend
Masses. The combined �
Trevisan and Ratliff families have celebrated over
100 sacraments here at Our Lady of Sorrows.�
When her children were growing up, Jan was very
active in Vacation Bible School and made the angel
costumes for the nativity pageant. When her
daughter, Deidre, began teaching here, she could
be seen helping in the classroom. With Deidre
shifting from teacher to Director of Advancement,
Jan now helps with most events put on by the
school advancement office. �
In recent years, Jan has been part of the RCIA
team (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). She is
invaluable in her walk with those who are preparing
to enter the Catholic Church. She offers them very
practical ways to live the faith. �
Thank you, Jan Ratliff, for being a Saint Among Us.�
CSA 2020�
Have you considered that
this time of challenge and
uncertainty could possibly be
the Church in Detroit’s finest
hour? This is a time for our
parishes and communities to
do what we do best: rise up.
In southeast Michigan, we
are no strangers to challenges,
and we, with the grace and love of God, have �
always been resilient, rising from the ashes and
overcoming these trials. �
Over the past year, even amidst trial, we haven’t
stopped working to feed the hungry, shelter the
homeless, or equip individuals to know the love �
of God.This pandemic has not stopped us from
sharing the Gospel! But this mission isn’t something
we can do alone.�

Your generosity to the Catholic Services Appeal
makes all these efforts possible. It brings
livestreamed Mass to those who can’t attend, powers
our Christian Service programs and outreach, helps
us learn how to better share Jesus in our diverse and
multicultural Detroit community, and helps individuals
and families grow closer to God even while physical-
ly distanced. Your gifts to the CSA does all this, and
so much more.�
Jesus told his disciples, “Rise up, and be not afraid.”
Now it is our turn to answer the call, to rise up and
be united in the mission of Christ. Please, prayerfully
consider making a one�time or recurring gift to help
continue this mission and to help each parish, family,
and individual throughout the Archdiocese bring the
hope of Jesus and his message to Southeast Michi-
gan and beyond.�
Visit www.givecsa.org for more information.�
Our Lady of Sorrows will host a Trunk or Treat in

We are now looking for Trunk Hosts. If you are
interested in being a trunk host, please call or

St. Teresa of Kolkata is known
throughout the world as a woman
who was committed to the Gospel.
In this inspiring talk, St. Teresa
shares her insights on the Blessed
Virgin Mary as a model of woman-

shows us that we, too, can do the
will of God by saying "yes" to Him
in big and little ways; nothing is too
insignificant.�
