Weekend at Birney’s
Back to Seminary
As many of you are aware, we o�en host seminarians at the
parish, thus providing me the opportunity to ‘dub’ the recto-
ry, Cabrini Chateau! For some of the seminarians, like Zaid
Chabaan and presently Tim DuBois, it is for a pastoral year,
while for others, like Michael Bruno, it is for just the sum-
mer. We are blessed to have them as part of our parish com-
munity and as ‘housemates’ in the rectory. I know for me,
they bring a sense of hope for the future, and remind me of
the original spark I experienced when I first felt the call to
the priesthood. Next week, Michael will begin the process of
moving back to the seminary to begin his second year of for-
ma-on/studies towards the priesthood….Tim will not be
returning to the seminary un-l next August…lucky him!
Please con-nue to pray for Michael, Tim, Zaid and all our
seminarians who are discerning a voca-on to the priest-
hood. The road to the priesthood is a long one, but filled
with many graces along the way. I pray that we will soon
have some of our own from Cabrini in the seminary? If you,
or someone you know has an interest, ques-on or sense
that he might have a voca-on to the priesthood, don’t hesi-
tate to let me or Fr. Dominic know…we are more than happy
to have that conversa-on. For more informa-on about the
seminary, priesthood or seminarians, please go to:

Priesthood/Parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit
The clergy of the Archdiocese recently received sta-s-cs on
our present and future numbers of ac-ve priests and parish-
es. Once you read these sobering numbers/ projec-ons, you
will be5er appreciate why Fr. Dominic and myself are cover-
ing weekend liturgies at Christ, the Good Shepherd, our
neighboring parish. Please con-nue to pray for both a rea-
wakening of the prac-ce of the faith, and an increase of vo-
ca-ons to the priesthood….God is s-ll calling, but we need
to help those being called to hear and respond. As you can
see, there is plenty of room for improvement!

ries of the Archdiocese. The majority of parish priests are
diocesan, and report directly to the (Arch)Bishop of their
(Arch)Diocese. Religious Order priests, (i.e: Franciscans, Jes-
uits, Benedic�nes, Dominicans, etc.) are ordained for their
Religious Order, report directly to their Superior, and serve
within a (Arch)Diocese, with permission, but at the discre-
-on of their Order.
Welcome Steve Dolunt
I would like to welcome Mr. Steve
Dolunt as our new Athle-c Director
for Cabrini High School. Steve is a very
familiar face to Cabrini schools and
parish. His children have a5ended
Cabrini schools, he has been an Assis-
tant so�ball coach for many years, he
faithfully serves as an Usher at the
12noon mass, and most especially, he and his family have
been ac-ve members in the life of our community. A�er 30+
years with the Detroit Police Department, Steve recently
re-red as the Deputy Police Chief and brings with him plenty
of experience with organiza-on, prepara-on and delega-on.
I am very grateful that he was willing to jump into the Ath-
le-c Office at this late hour, and with such short no-ce. In
just these past few days, he has already accomplished a
great deal, and I know the high school will be blessed with
his dedica-on and exper-se.
Quote for the week: ‘ No one yet has ever le� the Body of
Christ or His Church for a reason, but many have le� for a
thing. The thing may differ: it may be pride, wealth, flesh, or
the thousand-and-one subs-tutes for Divinity.’ – Venerable
Fulton Sheen
That’s all for now, see you in Church.

Gladys Coats October 5, 1927 - June 28, 2018
Gladys Coats, a beloved educator and administrator at St. Frances Cabrini Middle School, passed away on June 28,
2018. She was 90 years old.
Mrs. Coats was born on October 5, 1927, in Detroit, Michigan, to Andrew and Mary Baszczuk. Robert Coats, Gladys’ husband, pre-
ceded her in death. She is survived by sons, Robert, and his wife, Leslie, William, and his wife, Desiree, John, and his wife, Dulce, and
son James, and his wife, Natasha. Gladys was also the proud grandmother of 15 grandchildren and great grandmother of 6.
Gladys was a member of St. Frances Cabrini Parish for many years. She began her career at Cabrini as a subs-tute teacher and
taught fourth, sixth and eighth grades throughout her tenure. She re-red in 2010 a�er 46 years of service to Cabrini Schools. She also
began the Honors Math program in 1985.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 18, 2018, at 10:00am at St. Frances Cabrini Parish, 9000 Laurence Ave., Allen
Park, MI 48101.
In lieu of flowers, memorial dona-ons can be made to the Fr. Clare Murphy Scholarship Fund or to St. Frances Cabrini Debt Reduc-

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 5 August 5, 2018
From the desk of Fr. Dom…. What No One Tells You About…
Ques-on: How does the process of Canoniza-on work?
Canoniza-on is defined as: a declara-on made by the Pope
that a deceased person is raised to -tle of Saint. The canon-
iza-on is celebrated at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and is
usually followed by a celebra-on in the Saint’s place of ven-
era-on. However, there is a process which includes a num-
ber of steps and guidelines before the person can be de-
clared a saint. It includes four stages: Servant of God, Vener-
able, Blessed and finally Saint. It should be noted here that
every person in Heaven is a saint, even if the Church on
earth has not given them the -tle. The Holy Spirit raises up
certain souls for the Church to designate as saints for the
benefit of the faithful. But in no way does it limit the num-
ber of people in heaven to only those people officially desig-
nated on earth as saints.
The process usually does not start un-l five years have
passed since the death of the person. (There have been ex-
cep-ons made in the case of Saint Theresa of Calcu5a and
Saint Pope John Paul II.) This is to ensure the holiness and
enduring reputa-on of the person is beneficial to the faith-
ful. Once the five years are up, the Bishop of the diocese in
which the person died pe--ons the Va-can to open a cause
for Canoniza-on. The Congrega-on for the Doctrine of the
Faith will give permission for the cause to begin a�er an ini-
-al inves-ga-on. Once the cause has begun the person is
called a Servant of God.
The second stage is Venerable. In order for a person to be
declared a venerable an inves-ga-on takes place in to de-
termine if the person exhibited “Heroic Virtue”. This is done
by witness tes-mony given by those who knew the person
and examina-on of the person’s private and public wri-ngs.
The evidence is given to a theological commission estab-
lished by the Congrega-on for the Doctrine of the Faith, and
a vote is made by the commission. If the resul-ng vote is
assen-ng for the cause then it goes before the Pope who
officially recognizes the heroic virtue of the person and the
cause con-nues.
The third stage is Blessed. In order to be declared such, a
miracle a5ributed to the intercessory power of the Venera-
ble must be approved. The inves-ga-on of the miracle must
be undertaken in the diocese in which it occurred, not nec-
essarily in the diocese of the cause. The miracle is subjected
to a scien-fic commission and a theological commission.
The scien-fic commission rules there is no scien-fic explana-
-on or natural explana-on for the miracle. The miracle can
be of any type but usually it is medical. The miracle must be
well documented including: the infirmity, the treatment, the
healing and the las-ng effect. The theological commission
rules the cure was a miracle that can only be a5ributed to
God (the devil could cause a disease by his oppression and
simulate a cure by stopping his ac-on but the cure could not
be instantaneous, nor could he regenerate -ssue from noth-
ing.) Also, the miracle must be a5ributed to the intercession
of the Venerable alone. Once the diocesan commissions
affirms the miracle, the results are sent to the Congrega-on
who inves-gate and once they affirm, it is sent to the Pope
for his affirma-on. When the Pope affirms the miracle the
Venerable can be bea-fied. The Blessed is now affirmed to
be in Heaven. Also, public venera-on of the Blessed can be
done at the local or regional level (mass, divine office, imag-
es, etc). However, they are not yet venerated publically by
the Universal Church because bea-fica-on is not considered
an infallible papal act. Therefore, it is not yet appropriate
that the en-re Church venerate. Also, it is why the Pope
does not conduct the Bea-fica-on but the Congrega-on
does.
The final stage is Saint. In order to be declared a saint the
Church affirms a second miracle a5ributed to the Blessed.
The process is the same as it was with the first miracle.
Once the Pope affirms the second miracle the Canoniza-on
can take place and is presided over by the Pope. The decla-
ra-on of Canoniza-on is an infallible papal act protected
from error by the Holy Spirit. The Universal Church can now
offer masses, the Divine Office or other acts of public vener-
a-on in the name of the person. The canoniza-on by the
Pope does not make the person a saint; rather he declares
the person is with God and is an example of following Jesus
Christ.

Church. Paul’s le5er will enrich your per-
sonal faith life and teach you how to live
your daily lives in Jesus.
Bible Study is from 6:30 pm un-l

because of your generosity.
Your weekly contribu-ons to the Poor Boxes at the
church entrances average approximately $300/week and are
truly a blessing. Thank you. Certainly our ministry at Cabrini
would not be able func-on without the support of our fellow
parishioners and friends. On behalf of those we serve…Thank
you, Thank you! We also urge you to con-nue with your pray-
ers, and possibly to even consider becoming a Vincen�an.
“We cannot be6er assure our eternal happiness than by
living and dying in the service of the poor, in the arms of Prov-
idence, and with the genuine renouncement of ourselves in
order to follow Jesus Christ.” – St. Vincent de Paul
God bless you.
