On Saturday, September 22 on the Autumnal Ember Saturday, the Diocese of Lansing gathered for the "Made for Happiness" event. A procession was conducted from the Cathedral of St. Mary in downtown Lansing east to the Breslin Center on the campus of Michigan State University. Confessions were heard throughout the day, presentations were given by prominent Catholic speakers, and the vigil Mass for Sunday was offered in the main arena. Upwards of 12,000 of the diocesan faithful attended the event, and our Lay Dominican groups were represented during the procession and with a table we shared with the Lay Carmelite and Franciscan groups from the diocese. By all accounts, it was an edifying and fruitful day of spiritual renewal.
