Mass / Cake & Punch Reception
On June 15, 1922 Michael James Gallagher, Bishop of Detroit, sent Father John A. Gabriels to Lansing to establish a new Catholic parish. Fr. Gabriels requested that the church be named “The Church of the Resurrection” since the Resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of all Christianity. We will kick off our 100th Year Celebrations with Mass and a reception.

Anniversary Celebration Dinner
Purchase tickets at the Parish Office
Tickets are $50/person and $25/senior (60+)
The dinner celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Church of the Resurrection is scheduled for Saturday, November 19th. However, to call this just a dinner is like calling a cruise ship just a boat. This celebration is an EXTRAVAGANZA.
As with every dinner, the event centers around food and the 100th Anniversary celebration is no exception. We have partnered with the Soup Spoon Café to develop a menu consisting of tried-and-true Resurrection recipes from our parishioners:
- Judy Deveau’s German Red Cabbage
- Candy Case’s Irish Pork Chops
- Cathy Kuch’s Smoky Corn Chowder and
- Esther Martin’s Spinach Salad
Soup Spoon signature dishes:
- Shrimp Voodoo Pasta
- East Side Chicken
- French Onion Soup
as well as some “Classics”:
- Emil’s Pasta
- Soda Bread with 3 Butters
- Boxty with Pancetta
- Ruth DeMarco’s Marinated Winter Salad
And what celebration would be complete without some sweetness at the end:
- Bread Pudding a la Soup Spoon
- Apple Cake
- Fr. Martin’s Blueberry Pie
Of course, you will need something to wash this delicious food down and Soup Spoon has outdone itself. First, they have developed two signature cocktails – The Resurrection Centennial Mule and the Shamrock Spirit. But the highlight is the 100 commemorative bottles of Second Homily Imperial Pale Ale from Old Nation Brewery. Draft beer, wine and coffee will be served as well.
Tickets are $50/person and $25/senior (60+) and they can be purchased after 8:30 and 11:00 Mass or at the Parish Office. Hurry! Sales are limited!
