Five Weidert basketball players took the floor on Thursday evening as part of Adrian High School March Madness. Former girls basketball players Nina (Weidert) Rogers and Olivia Weidert challenged the high school varsity team. The next game featured the boys varsity team against basketball alumni. Christian Weidert competed against his uncles, Nick and Justin. It was a fun night for everyone. Other Lismore alumni players featured Katie Wieneke, Shelley Loosbrock, and Mitchell Veld. It doesn’t seem that long ago that all of these “kids” were in high school!

Those who attended Mass at St. Adrian on Sunday witnessed a very powerful and moving experience for the Mike and Melissa Einck family of rural St. Kilian/Wilmont area. Fr. Rick Colletti called them to the center of the church to anoint Molly, who soon will be having another surgery in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The entire congregation prayed for this sweet, brave two-year old who continues to amaze us all with her spirit and determination. The Einck’s are so grateful for the love and support they continue to receive throughout Molly’s journey. May God bless this family!
