ECRC Annual Fundraiser

Eastern Catholic Re-Evangelization Center has had the same mission since 2001: to bring people into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.   We do this through weekly bible studies, weekend retreats, kid’s summer camps, and educational classes.

We have grown from a small group meeting in a church basement, to an organization with its own property in Bloomfield Township.  Our programs are facilitated throughout the entire Chaldean diocese of St. Thomas the Apostle in metro Detroit.

In recent years, we added a video production division of ECRC called Mar Toma Chaldean Catholic Productions where we produce Catholic programs for television stations around the globe. It was St. Pope John Paul II who called the lay people to evangelize the faith through new methods are fervor. He also called Catholics to use the media to spread the word of God.  We are doing both through this ministry. 

None of us will ever truly know how many lives we impact through ECRC or all the ways we are able to change lives, but we do know that people are hungry for the truth and that is what we continue to share.

We do not ask for money throughout the year, nor do we have a weekly collection.  This one time each year, we gather to give thanks and to raise money for all that we do throughout the year.  We are so grateful for the generosity of donors such as yourself.  Without your financial support and prayers, we would not be able to continue God’s work.

If you are interested in participating as a sponsor or to donate an item for the raffle, please click here or call ECRC at 248-538-9903 or e-mail patrice@ecrc.us
