All eyes will be on Ford Field on Saturday, November 18 when Capuchin Father Solanus Casey will be Beatified. Venerable Solanus Casey, an American-born Capuchin priest, was known for his ability as a spiritual counselor and was highly sought-after throughout his life, in part because of the many physical healings attributed to his blessings and intercessions. He is co-founder of the Capuchin Soup Kitchen.

The Beatification Mass is on Saturday, November 18 at 4:00 p.m. Doors open at 2:00 p.m. at Ford Field. The Archdiocese of Detroit has made tickets available to schools and parishes. We are fortunate to have a section of seats where we can all sit together.  

We would like to invite you to attend this celebration as a family. You would be welcome to travel downtown by bus (departing ASH at 2:00 p.m. and returning at approximately 7:00 p.m.) or you may drive yourself.
