Established in August 1890, the parish connects its history with northern Michigan's Catholic missionary heritage and summarizes its present vision as “Love, Pray, Grow.” Its life centers on Eucharistic devotion, prayer, study, and evangelization. Adoration is offered Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m., and Friday from 1 to 4 p.m., with a different first-Friday pattern. Formation includes children's sacramental preparation plus middle- and high-school youth ministry. Volunteer roles range from hospitality, music, and altar service to bringing Communion to people unable to attend Mass. Livestreamed liturgies and recorded homilies help prospective visitors understand parish worship, while the published calendar remains the best source for holy days and other schedule exceptions.
