Even though they're fighting mad about the escalating home invasions, and more, in Clinton Township, Michigan these days, they are positive and taking action to stem the tide in their changing neighborhood.
There's Captain Bruce Wade and Kathy Voss with Thomasina Schenk, among a packed house at Saint Claude Chapel last night who met and led once more the nationally effective Neighborhood Watch, an extension of the police.
Ears and eyes for the community, people are waking up in a sleeping nation. People are standing up against thugs in favor of a secure quality of life in Macomb County, Michigan, and elsewhere.
The crowd was engaged Monday night in the pastorally plush Saint Claude's Chapel on the campus of Saint Thecla Church, a merger forged when few priests are available for a resident pastor at both St. Claude and St. Thecla. So, Father Doug Bignall said YES to lead both.
However, one can only spread self so much, and one of the places gets less attention and pastoral care.
Yet, people are taking the lead as it should be. They're stepping out in faith.
Like they did last night when people kept pouring into the 6:30 pm Neighborhood Watch meeting.
They're mounting an offense. They're lining their windows along Beaconsfield and Little Mack, and more, for example, with bright red signs of solidarity, coupled with watchful eyes on would-be criminals taking advantage of the vulnerable and property people invested their saving into all their working days.
They'll meet again January 11, 2012 in Rainbow Elementary School at 5:45 pm. For more information and to get in on the action, the face off with crime, if you will, contact originalmobster1@comcast.net, or call St. Thecla/St. Claude Catholic Church at 586 791 3930.
Parishioners and residents are taken their leader, Jesus, seriously, "to love your neighbor as yourself." as the Good Book notes.
