You will certainly be struck by our historical importance and anchor to the Church of Detroit. On November 3, 2018, St. Mary of Redford will celebrate its 175th birthday as a parish, the 4th oldest parish in the Archdiocese of Detroit. And you will be impressed, I believe, by many events we plan to commemorate that auspicious history — from the special Mass with Archbishop Vigneron on November 4 to the parish pilgrimage to the sacred shrines of Quebec open to any sincere pilgrim in May of 2019.

But most important, when you enter our doors you will be struck by the hospitality of our community. You are greeted and welcomed. Anyone who comes into our community, we believe has been sent by the Holy Spirit. You have gifts and we are excited to get to know you. Come join us on Sundays at 11. Or stop by anytime during the week. We want to get to know you. You have a home here at St. Mary. And, as the Archbishop says, in sharing together and in hearing each other's story, we can help "unleash the Gospel" here in northwest Detroit.
