2024 New Year Blessings

Hello Young at Heart Friends and Family;

Happy New Year!!!  I hope everyone of you had special holiday moments with your family and loved ones. To our many friends who are seeking warmer climates, I pray you have safe travels and arrive safely at your respective destinations. 

WINTER CLOSURES: Here in Grand Rapids, the weather forecast remains pretty mild. In case of poor weather conditions, YAH will seek guidance from the school closings. However, sometimes the weather improves in time for safe activities at YAH, or the weather may turn more treacherous. In the event that YAH decides to cancel activities during the winter months, we will ask Wood Radio/ TV 8 and WZZM TV13 to announce any closings. YAH will also aim to send out an email announcement. If you have any questions you are welcome to call St. Alphonsus Parish Office at 616-451-3043.
