Sunday Mass Participation
- Unfortunately, our finals game has been scheduled by the MHSAA on a Sunday. In agreement with the Diocese, we have granted an exception to our policy regarding Sunday activities in order to play this game. However, as important as the football game may be to our community, Mass remains the priority. Our players will be worshiping together on Sunday morning, and we expect to see a strong WC presence at weekend Masses.
- WC fans are encouraged to attend Mass at their regular parish or another local parish.
- If you are in Detroit ahead of the game, please consider attending one of the many parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit.
