Sisters, Home Visitors of Mary Convent, Detroit, MI
On Sunday, January 5, 2025, key supporters of the acclaimed Fall TasteFest fundraising event held last November by St. James Parrish, Novi, MI, gathered for a celebration luncheon at the SHVM convent in Detroit. The Fall TasteFest was widely regarded as a “miraculous” event – blessed with success, enjoyed by all, and raising more than 150% of the original fundraising goal. Proceeds of the event will support Sisters, Home Visitors of Mary electric service in Nigeria.
Attendees discussed possible future collaborations and enjoyed Nigerian food dishes specially created by Sr. Clare Emeroum, HVM, Director of Pastoral Associate/Evangelical Charity at St. James.
Several attendees particularly enjoyed their first visit to historic 121 E. Boston, once home to Detroit’s own Joseph L. Hudson and the location where, in 1916, J.L. Hudson’s beloved niece Eleanor Clay married Henry Ford’s only son Edsel to subsequently become the forbearing parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents of the entire subsequent (and current!) Ford family progeny.
